The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 175 Li An is reluctant to give up, I will be the villain

Juggling was the most popular entertainment item in the Tang Dynasty. There were many items, such as dancing, long stilts, sword dancing, sword swallowing, wheel playing, flying ladders, rope playing, as well as the oldest horn and foreign games. There are many kinds of illusions, animal imitation and taming, superposition, etc. that appear in cultural exchanges, which are very interesting to see.

Among them, illusion is the most mysterious and unexplainable performance.

The Tang Dynasty was the time when magic was at its strongest. I wonder if you all know about the Indian Sky Rope, which is a rope found in a bamboo basket. The rope goes straight up to the sky, allowing people to climb to the clouds.

In fact, this illusion first appeared in the Han Dynasty and was called the Rope Skill. However, during the Tang Dynasty, this illusion reached its peak: During the Kaiyuan Year of the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong ordered all states and counties to hold large-scale banquets, and the Jiaxing County magistrate hurriedly prepared competition programs.

The prison officers were particularly eager to participate.One prisoner said: He knows rope skills.He said that all he needed was a rope as thick as a finger, about fifty feet, and thrown into the air, and he could "jump around over and over again and do anything" on it.

During the performance, the man threw the rope straight into the air, as if someone was holding it in the air. After throwing it more than 20 feet, the end of the rope was no longer visible.This man moved his hands along the rope and climbed up the rope. He looked like a bird and flew away into the sky. He took the opportunity to escape.

This is recorded in the "Yan Yi Bian" compiled by Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty.

There was only one emperor in the Tang Dynasty who didn't like illusions. Who was Gaozong Li Zhi? Why? Because Gaozong Li Zhi was timid. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, five Brahmins from the West came to Chang'an. They were all good at illusions. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin let him They performed wonderful illusions such as tongue cutting, intestine removal, rope walking, and severing.These shows are both bloody and thrilling, but Li Shimin has a strong and alert personality and can completely bear it.

But Li Zhi couldn't do it. He really scared Li Zhi that time, so when Li Zhi became emperor, he would ban illusions. He was also the only emperor in the Tang Dynasty who banned illusions.

In the square in front of Huaidefang Restaurant, the juggling began, one by one, the performances were extremely exciting. Everyone applauded. Li Duoduo also clapped her hands in appreciation. This was the first time for her to see so many wonderful performances. .

"Hey, Mr. Cheng Guo."

Just when everyone was watching the wonderful scene, a man's voice sounded from below. Cheng Yaojin looked down and his lips immediately became happy. It turned out that the person calling him below was Hou Junji.

"Hey, Lord Duke." Cheng Yaojin also called out, "Are you here to see the sideshow too?"

"It's with my little granddaughter." As he said that, Hou Junji revealed a little girl beside him. She was about seven years old. She was very cute. The only problem was that her eyes were not big enough. The little guy is not cute enough.

"Haha...!" Cheng Yaojin laughed happily: "What a coincidence, I also came to watch the sideshow with my little granddaughter!" After saying that, Cheng Yaojin directly picked up Li Duoduo and said with a smile: "This is my little granddaughter. Come to Duoduo to call someone and say hello to Grandpa Hou."

Li Duoduo showed a faint smile, and a pair of cute dimples appeared: "Hello, Grandpa Hou!"

Those cute and dazzling Kazilan’s big eyes immediately shocked Hou Junji: “She is your granddaughter, don’t be ridiculous. Which child in your old Cheng family is so good-looking?”

"Tch!" Cheng Yaojin looked at Hou Junji without being annoyed and said, "You know nothing!" After saying that, Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Duoduo and asked, "Who am I, Duoduo?"

"Grandpa...!" Li Duoduo replied loudly. The sound of "grandpa" made Cheng Yaojin laugh out loud. Then Cheng Yaojin looked at Hou Junji proudly and said, "By the way. I forgot to tell you, my Duoduo Duo is five years old, and my Duoduo can compose poems at the age of five. What can your Rui'er know?"

"Mr. Cheng Guogong, who was able to compose poems at the age of five, is so boastful that you are so awesome, right?" Hou Junji replied unhappily while standing downstairs.

"If you don't believe it, Duoduo, write a poem for your Grandpa Hou." Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Duoduo expectantly.

Li Duoduo thought for a moment and said: "It's so bitter to be a juggler in the world of martial arts, and to live a wandering life in the heat and cold. If you can master a unique skill and sweat a lot, why don't you applaud loudly!"

"Hiss!" Hou Junji was dumbfounded. The poem Li Duoduo just read was a juggling act in front of his eyes. It was almost incredible that a little guy could write a poem out of his mouth, because this little guy was only five years old.

Seeing Hou Junji's dumbfounded look, Cheng Yaojin knew that Li Duoduo's poems must be very good, which made Cheng Yaojin immediately shout: "Haha, how is it, how is it. sharp?"

Hou Junji looked at Cheng Yaojin's sullen look, and a nameless fire rushed to the top of his head. He immediately shouted to Cheng Yaojin: "Who believe you? You must have found someone to write the poem in advance." , then ask your granddaughter to recite it. I can do it, but I don’t bother to do it.”

"Haha. Your granddaughter is dying, so you deliberately spread rumors about my granddaughter. Old monkey, you are too small-minded." Cheng Yaojin stood on the second floor and laughed at Hou Junji.

"Cheng Heizi, you are shameless." Hou Junji took his granddaughter and left without looking back.Watching Hou Junji leave angrily, Cheng Yaojin felt happy. For many years, Hou Junji had been using his little granddaughter to tease him in front of him, making him jealous, and Cheng Yaojin only wanted to see her. When Cheng Yaojin brought his little granddaughter, Cheng Yaojin took the initiative to avoid her. He felt so aggrieved.

But now Li Duoduo directly helps Cheng Yaojin to avenge his shame. Today Cheng Yaojin saw Hou Junji leave in despair. It was so refreshing. Who could have known that this kind of love had been suppressed for many years? Once released.

Everyone in the Cheng family on the side became happy when they saw their father's happy look. Cui Xian even hugged Li Duoduo and said happily: "My Duoduo is really so smart, grandma." I love Duoduo the most.”

Li Duoduo was happily hugged by Cui Xian. She also smiled and showed her little white teeth. Then she kissed Cui Xian hard on the cheek and said, "I love grandma the most too!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed loudly, and the laughter was really hearty.

Manna Palace
After Li Shimin finished his day's work, Huang Bao brought Li Shimin dinner. While eating dinner, Li Shimin asked Huang Bao: "Has Li An gone to Wei's house today?"

Huang Bao stood next to Li Shimin and replied respectfully: "I went. I invited Cheng Chumo from the Cheng family to join us. However, there was no trouble. Mr. Li was very smart and focused all the contradictions around the servant bullying the master.

She didn't have too much entanglement with the Cui family's daughter from the Wei family. Because of this, when the censor Cui Zheng came, there was nothing she could do. Instead, Cheng Yaojin's wife gave her Cui family's jade pendant to Mr. Li. Cui Zheng also helped Mr. Li with a lot of words. "

"Cui Xian really regards Li An as his adopted son!" Li Shimin took a sip of millet porridge and nodded slightly.

"Yes. Mrs. Cheng's jade pendant has not been given to her for many years. Even her biological son Cheng Chubi has not given it to her. This is the past that Mrs. Cheng does not want to think of. It is his brother's jade pendant, and his My brother is in Lijia Village now." Huang Bao answered one by one.

"Well, I know this. It's pretty good. What about the back? Has Wei Wangning been rescued?"

"He was rescued, but it was not ordered by Mrs. Wei to put him in, but he was sent out by Liu Quan, the steward of the servant. Liu Quan recounted his injustice and said that he was not a servant at all, he was just a slave. Just following the order from the second room.

Then it was revealed that Wei Wangning had tuberculosis. After hearing that Wei Wangning had tuberculosis, people on the street fled in all directions. Mr. Li also left after rescuing Wei Wangning. Liu Quan was taken back by Mrs. Wei. Then it was reported that Liu Quan committed suicide by swallowing gold. "

Huang Bao's words made Li Shimin frown slightly. Of course, Li Shimin's frown was not Liu Quan's suicide by swallowing gold, but Li Shimin's frown was Wei Wangning's consumption.Li Shimin sighed: "Wei Wangning has tuberculosis, and now she has Li An's flesh and blood. You must know that children born from tuberculosis also have tuberculosis. This is a trouble. By the way, tuberculosis is contagious. Where is my Duoduo?"

"His Majesty, Mr. Li sent the little princess to Cheng Guogong's mansion early in the morning. Also, Cheng Guogong was very good to the little princess. In the afternoon, he even took the little princess to catch his most precious Feng Shui koi. It may be in Huaidefang now. Watching juggling." Huang Bao responded with a smile!

"Hey." At this time, Li Shimin sighed heavily again: "Huang Bao, what do you mean by this? I am Duoduo's real grandfather, but Cheng Laohei got a big advantage. I also want to be with you Duo Duo watched juggling together, I miss Duo Duo now."

"Your Majesty, the Cheng family is very kind to the little princess, and they are all vying to be the godfather of the little princess. Our little princess is smart. She calls Cheng Chumo the eldest father, Cheng Chumo the second father, and Cheng Chubi the third father. Now The whole Cheng family regards the little princess as their treasure."

"That's also because my Duoduo family is cute, and the Cheng family has benefited from this." Li Shimin snorted jealously and continued: "Tell Tiance Mansion that the second wave of personnel should be stationed in Lijia Village quickly, so as not to attract An'er's attention.

And I don't allow anyone to dare to explore An'er's secret. I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. As for Wei Wangning, I immediately secretly investigate whether her pregnancy is true or false, and the serious condition of tuberculosis.

I can't let the love between my children get to An'er's head. Tuberculosis can be transmitted from person to person. Wei Wangning is an extremely dangerous person. If necessary, An'er won't let her go, so I will be the bad guy.

I will never let my son or granddaughter stay with an extremely dangerous person. "

"No!" Huang Bao bowed quickly.

"Also, since Duoduo is already in Lu Guogong's mansion, Huang Bao, you should let me and Guanyin Maid see Duoduo, and the time can be longer, right?" Li Shimin looked at Huang Bao with a smile.

Huang Bao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that you and the Queen will definitely be able to see the little princess tomorrow."

"Okay!" Li Shimin became happy!
