Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 503 The Heartless Li Chengqian

After the establishment of the Shibo Department, Xu Nian was the chief officer. Xu Nian is a good person and very diligent. When Li You confessed, Xu Nian could complete it without compromise. This is the main reason why Li You chose Xu Nian.

Time passed slowly, Li You's side was getting better and better, things were going on, and the fun was fun, but when everything was peaceful, Li Chengqian, who was far away in Chang'an, sat in the Manna Hall for a whole day .

Today's Li Chengqian is very abnormal, he doesn't eat, drink, or talk, just sits like this all the time, Li Yuanchang is by Li Chengqian's side.

"Du He, Zhao Jie and the others have already gone to Jiucheng Palace. Tonight Hou Junji will attack Jiucheng Palace. As long as tonight is over, tomorrow, you will be the Lord of the Tang Dynasty."

"Uncle Huang. Do you know why Gu is called Chengqian?" Li Chengqian smiled slightly, then did not wait for Li Yuanchang to speak, and said to himself: "Gu is the eldest son born after five years of marriage between the father and the mother. Worrying about the child's problem even became a heart disease for the two of them.

But in November of the first year of Wude, the father went through many hardships, captured and beheaded the puppet Emperor Xue Rengao, and adapted the elite cavalry left by Xue's father and son, and his reputation was greatly shocked.

This is my first battle of Li Tang Liguo, and it is also the most difficult and dangerous battle.If this battle fails, Xue Ju and his son will invade Chang'an, and our Li family will be finished.

Grandpa was very happy, and he made his father the emperor Taiwei, and sent troops from all walks of life.After the new year, Gu was born, which can be described as double happiness.Because Gu was born in Chengqian Palace, his grandfather named Gu Li Chengqian, with a character of Gaoming.

Some people say that Chengqian means "inheriting the great rule and leading the universe", which is pure nonsense.

The third generation of the Li family is the Chengzi generation. The uncle has six sons named Chengzong, Chengdao, Chengde, Chengxun, Chengming and Chengyi.The four uncles and five sons are called Chengye, Chengluan, Chengju, Chengyu and Chengdu.

If it is said that Chengqian is the successor of the great system, then Chengzong is the successor of the ancestral temple, and Chengye is the successor of the great cause. Isn't this a mess? "

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian showed a rare smile, but this smile made Li Yuanchang a little confused, because this time he knew, after all, he was also from the Li family, but why did Li Chengqian say this now, or at this moment.

"Being a father for the first time, the joy of the emperor can be imagined.

The children of nobles are all "born in the deep palace and grown in the hands of women". Parents do not educate their children themselves. Before the age of three, they are educated by nurses and nurses. He reads scriptures and poems, but he is not called a teacher, but a servant, that is, a companion.

Gu's first attendant was grandson Jiaqing, the mother's nephew.

When Gu was six years old, his father sent Jiaqing's younger brother Sun Xiang to Gu's side, and the two elder brothers accompanied Gu to study together.

I thought about it. At that time, my father would definitely think that if everything goes well, I will become a well-educated, civilized and military son. After my father dies, I will inherit my father's position as King Qin and live an ordinary and wealthy life.

But a person's fate depends not only on how hard the individual works, but also on how hard the father works.Many times, the efforts of the father are more important than the efforts of the individual.

In June of the ninth year of Wude, the father launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, killing his uncle Li Jiancheng and his fourth uncle Li Yuanji, and by the way, his uncle's five sons (the eldest son Li Chengzong died early) and his fourth uncle's five sons.

How vicious, Gu still remembers that day, the grandfather knelt in front of the father and begged the father not to kill the sons of the uncle and the fourth uncle, and cried and said that these are also the nephews of the father, these are all nephews.

But the father didn't have any compassion, and he didn't agree to his grandfather's begging. All of Gu's cousins ​​were killed, and there was no one left. Before, Gu didn't understand why, but later Gu understood, this is called cutting grass and roots, but Gu I understand, but I don't agree with it, it's too cold-blooded, I can't do it alone.

In October, the father ascended the throne, and the eight-year-old Gu was crowned prince and became the successor of the Tang Empire in the future.

But Gu did not expect that ascending to the position of prince was the beginning of Gu's miserable life. Gu's first teacher was Li Gang, who is very interesting. He first tutored Yang Yong, the prince of Sui Wendi Yang Jian, but Yang Yong was abolished up.Later, I tutored my uncle Li Jiancheng, and my uncle was also finished. "

Li Chengqian laughed haha, and the laughter was full of banter. After laughing, Li Chengqian continued to speak slowly: "Unfortunately, Mr. Li passed away after only teaching Gu for one year. Father became the emperor. Basically, I don't go out very much, and occasionally go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, so I let Gu supervise the country, and I leave many small things to Gu to handle, and I don't need to report to him.

Gu also made a good appearance, and his father boasted that he "knows the general situation quite well", which was unanimously praised by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.The Gu at this time, no matter who it is, is the next generation of Mingjun of the Tang Dynasty. "

"Your Highness is smart and wise, of course he is a generation of Mingjun!" Li Yuanchang bowed quickly.

Only at this time, Li Chengqian's words changed: "It's just that in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Gu's dream of being a Mingjun was abolished, and Gu's legs became lame!" After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian's eyes turned red.

Speaking of Li Chengqian's lameness, it may be due to the habits of the Li family. The Li Tang family was born in the Xianbei tribe in the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Mr. Chen Yinke said that the Six Towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty were a reaction to the Sinicization of the Hu people.

At that time, Tuoba Hong, Emperor Wendi of Wei Dynasty, moved his people to Luoyang to promote Sinicization, and left some people to garrison in the six towns of Shuofang.

Later, when the Central Plains were in turmoil, these people occupied Chang'an and formed the Guanlong noble group, which also preserved most of the nomadic customs.Generally three kinds: eating meat, drinking, hunting.

Li Shimin likes hunting very much, so several sons followed him one after another. Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Ke are all capable of both civil and military skills, and they are heroic.Only Li Zhi doesn't like hunting, but likes reading and writing, so Li Shimin thinks that he is "soft and cowardly, not like me".

Hunting, eating and sleeping in the open, of course, all kinds of life are irregular, there is a meal without a meal, and a group of people gather together when they catch prey, eat wildly, and laugh heartily.

But extreme joy begets sorrow, this perennial irregular life finally ruined Li Chengqian.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian was 16 years old and fell ill with a persistent disease that has not been cured until now: gout.

The main causes of gout are eating meat and drinking alcohol, excessive intake of purine-rich foods, and suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Li Chengqian has all these. The Li Tang family has inherited cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. All kinds of things that happened in the first 100 years of the dynasty are related to their diseases, including the event of Wu Zetian proclaiming the emperor.

The gout first started from the toes, so Li Chengqian limped and couldn't walk normally.This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Li Chengqian, who has always been loved by thousands of people.After my feet hurt, I can no longer exercise, but my eating habits have not changed. I still eat meat and drink alcohol, which leads to weight gain. Not only my feet hurt, but my legs also start to hurt, a vicious circle.

"Uncle, besides being lame, Gu's leg still hurts every day. You don't know how uncomfortable and desperate it was when Gu just hurt. After taking I don't know how many medicines, the pain in Gu's leg was relieved." no.

Later, Gu, who was tortured by illness, no longer had the demeanor and grace and tolerance of a corporal who used to be respectful and virtuous.

In fact, Gu wanted comfort from his father. Gu wanted his father to come and see Gu and give Gu a comfort. He hoped that Gu's legs were lame. Father would not give up on Gu, but Father had never seen Gu. Hate that iron cannot be made into steel, and successively sent Yu Zhining, Li Baiyao, Du Zhenglun, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Liu Ji, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou and other important officials of Confucianism to the East Palace to persuade Gu, let Gu do well. Study, listen to your father, be a good prince now, and be a good emperor in the future.

A cripple, can he still be an emperor? God Khan, do you still need a lame prince? "

Li Chengqian's tears fell down big and big. Even Li Yuanchang was slightly moved by the sadness and despair.

"Li Shimin." Suddenly Li Chengqian yelled, got up and shouted viciously: "Don't think that Gu doesn't know that you are lame, so you don't want Gu anymore, you have to train Gu's younger brother Li Tai.

You keep improving Li Tai's standard of treatment, even surpassing the orphan who became the prince. Anyone with a discerning eye can guess what it means, so Liu Ji, Cen Wenwen and other ministers soon gathered around his good brother Li Tai, After that, Li Tai also recruited more than [-] people, including the captain-in-law Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai, etc., and generously donated bequests to send his heart.Wei Ting, the servant of the Huangmen, and Du Chuke, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, successively took pictures of the affairs of the Wei Wangfu.The civil and military officials each have their own trust, and they are their own cronies.

Faced with this intensifying situation of seizing the heir, you, Li Shimin, not only did not stop it, but added fuel to the flames, and made Li Tai enter the Hall of Wude.

If Wei Zheng hadn't tried his best to intercept it, your edict might have been announced to the world.

Gu is not dead yet, and Gu is not blind. Your intention is already obvious, that is to gradually train Li Tai, and eventually replace Gu as the crown prince. But Gu is no longer an ignorant child. If you want Gu to die, then Gu It is necessary to strike first.

You, Li Shimin, can kill your brother to seize the throne, and you can also be the emperor's uncle if you are alone! "

Li Chengqian suddenly looked at Li Yuanchang who was on the side and shouted.

"The minister is here. Please make it clear, Your Highness!"

"My Majesty, Your Majesty!" Li Chengqian said word by word.

"Your Majesty!" Li Yuanchang quickly knelt down on the ground.

At this time, I heard Li Chengqian say slightly: "Take Jiucheng Palace, kill Li Shimin and Li Tai, and then kill Hou Junji. Handle Hou Junji as treason, and don't need to bring him back for immediate disposal."

"My minister obeys the order." Li Yuanchang bowed to the ground.

Li Chengqian turned his eyes slightly to the outside of the Ganlu Hall, and dusk was approaching at this time!
