Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 376

The stars are shining all over the sky, illuminating the dark countryside.

In the dim light, the door was opened, Xu Mao bowed respectfully, told Li Xian to keep warm from the cold, take an early rest, and then turned and left.

Looking at the back of his face going away under the torch, Li Xian's mind suddenly reappeared Xu Mao's previous words, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and murmured softly.

"He is obviously a kind and approachable person, but he still speaks these deep words..."

Shaking his head slightly, he turned and went back to the house, extinguished the candle, and fell asleep soundly.

The flickering of armor and the sound of patrolling footsteps became softer, and the wilderness in the suburbs became silent.

The field of vision crosses the dark countryside, and goes to the imperial city a few miles away. On the wide and empty long street, paper lanterns sway gently in the night wind. From time to time, dogs can be heard faintly beeping. The sound of the golden gong, the elongated sound reminds people who are about to fall asleep.

"The hour of Hai has come, go to bed early."

Inside the high wall, the guards walked through the East Palace, and at the end of the continuous candlelight, the bedroom in the backyard was as bright as day.

Li Zhen, who was dressed in the strong clothes of the thousand cattle guards, looked at the figure sitting behind the long table in the open door from a distance, and sighed slightly.

Everyone in the world knows that princes and nobles live extravagantly, but they don't know that in the dead of night, Li Chengqian, who is the prince, is still reading at night by candlelight.

Stepping into the gate of the palace with light steps, Li Zhen walked up to the center of the palace, looking past Li Chengqian who had been waiting for a long time, feeling somewhat guilty in his heart, bowed and bowed.

"It's getting late, His Royal Highness, it's better to rest earlier."

"Most of the secret letters from the firearms depot today... can't be delivered."

Tilting the bamboo slip in his hand slightly, Li Chengqian showed half of his face, looked at the visitor with a slight smile, and pointed to the side seat in the hall with his cross arm.

"Don't be in a hurry."

"Xu Mao has been with Gu for several years. Gu knows that he is cautious, and this is the first time he has done this kind of tipping. It takes time to prepare."

"Wait an hour or two longer and turn over a few pages of ancient slips, it's not a problem."

After the words fell, Li Zhen, who had not yet sat firmly on his buttocks, suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming, stopped on the east side of the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the letterhead from the Arsenal."

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Li Zhen got up in a hurry, clasped his hands together, and followed the guards to fetch the letter.

After a while, you can turn back.

Green smoke curled up from the hollow incense burner, and the refreshing fragrance entered the nostrils, making people feel happy and comfortable. After carefully examining the letter paper that Li Zhen handed over, the dense handwriting came to mind, Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"Interesting, as the servant of the Ministry of Industry, he is actually worried about food for the thousands of people under his command, but Li Xian, the servant, is worried about the survival of his subordinates."

"However, speaking of it, Li Xian is quite capable, and he was able to create such a terrifying thing. It seems that the folk rumors are somewhat credible."

After listening to the words, Li Zhen nodded slightly and agreed.

"Yeah, destroying the sky and destroying the earth. In an instant, dozens of Tuyuhun elite tiger riders were wiped out, and the top of the city collapsed. Thinking about the power of this fire, it is really shocking."

Li Zhen, who was born in the martial arts family, could not imagine how tragic the scene was at that time even if he was exhausted. It is really amazing to fight against dozens of elites by himself.

After a pause in his words, Li Zhen turned to show a worried look on his face, looked up at Li Chengqian who was still carefully checking the letter paper, and said.

"His Royal Highness."

"Li Xian used to be a man who made farming and horseshoes. He was praised a lot both inside and outside. Now he is very outstanding in the battle in the western frontier. In addition, this time he has made great achievements in firearms. In terms of his merits, he may not be as good as today's Jian Tang veterans. Compete."

Looking away from the letter, Li Chengqian lit the letter in his hand on the candle on the desk, and his complexion became solemn.

"That's right, with Li Xian's outstanding achievements, he will only be at the top of the court, and his father will spoil him even more."

"Now the King of Wu has inexplicably close business contacts with Li Xian. I'm afraid that Li Xian will guide this person in the future, which will be detrimental to David."

Li Chengqian was established as the crown prince at the age of eight. During these years of success, he was diligent and steadfast, and he was indeed praised and praised by many ministers in the court.But after all, Li Shimin's son and grandson are not the only ones who are excellent.

Wei Wang Li Tai and Wu Wang Li Ke are also the best among the princes, and the victors have still faintly overshadowed Li Chengqian, who is the heir apparent, in recent years.

As the eldest son, the image of Li Shimin holding a bloody knife in his hand, killing his brother, killing his brother and proclaiming himself emperor is lingering in his childhood memory.Also as he grew older, he gradually developed a sense of panic towards these two free-playing younger brothers, for fear that one day the Xuanwumen incident would happen again.

All the variables become subtle and tense because of this sudden talented young man Li Xian.

Staring dazedly at Hui Fei dancing in the candlelight, Li Chengqian spoke with a look of helplessness and unwillingness.

"Li Xian possesses thaumaturgy and is extremely alert. If this person is under the sect of the East Palace, he will have no fear."

"However..."

The words stopped, and Li Chengqian stood up slowly while supporting the desk, and slowly paced in the hall with his hands behind his back.

"It's a pity that these young talents are born with eccentricities, aloof and arrogant, and they have really become a shadow in Gu's heart."

The words stopped, and the figure on the armrest still walked towards the door of the palace, looked up at the clear sky, and sighed softly.

Looking at the lonely back, Li Zhen felt inexplicably sour.

Over the years, Li Chengqian has seen what he has done, but it seems that the emperor is not satisfied with Li Chengqian's achievements, and the number of visits to the East Palace has decreased significantly. In the Taiji Palace, Li Tai and Li Ke's greetings are often heard.

The emperor's heart is like an abyss, which is hard to fathom.

Li Zhen also couldn't figure out whether it was the emperor Li Shimin who wanted to test Li Chengqian, or whether this formerly glorious eldest son still lost his former family.

Recalling the uninvited guest Li Xian in her mind, she secretly clenched her fists, Qing walked forward slowly, stopped two feet behind her back, and when she raised her eyes slightly, there was a murderous intent in her eyes.

"His Royal Highness, Li Xian has such a great ability, but he cannot use it for His Highness, which already implies a hidden danger."

"Now that I'm with the King of Wu, the friendship in business can inevitably lead to an affair."

"If such a favored and strange person gives us a head-on blow when his prestige in the court grows and his wings are full in the future, it will be uncomfortable, how about..."

The figure facing away was slightly startled, as if a little shocked, but did not turn around.

After a while.

Slowly raised his right palm and waved it.

"At this time, there is no need to mention it in the future."

"Li Xian is a once-in-a-century genius. As far as his inventions are concerned, most of his inventions are for the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the family and the country. We should not be so rude to the heroes of the Tang Dynasty."

As the Qianniu Guard next to the prince, Li Zhen naturally knew about this, but as a personal guard, Li Zhen had to guard Li Chengqian to consider in the future.

Changes in the court The battle for the crown prince is no joke.

Since ancient times, the winner and the loser, if the two outstanding princes act first, the East Palace will definitely be bloodbathed.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen's voice suddenly rose in desperation.

"His Royal Highness, do you think it's dangerous?"

"Li Xian is now rising, and he will be a role model for the entire young talents. If there is a change, other palaces will be in great trouble!"
