The sky gradually darkened.
But Xiao Han's mansion, located in a corner of Chang'an, became increasingly lively.
Especially after several of the latest Xiao family carriages drove in, the noise became louder and louder.
Even with their heads covered, the neighbors around the Xiao Mansion could clearly hear all kinds of nonsense and drunken talk coming from the compound.
Coupled with the occasional noise of breaking pots and throwing dishes, it was even more uncomfortable in this supposedly silent night.
"These are the ones who kill a thousand people!"
He got up and spat hard towards the brightly lit courtyard.
After a few months, it seems that Xiao Han's neighbors are going to spend another sleepless night.
Every once in a while, the Xiao family's mansion disturbs the residents late at night. It's not like there are people who can't stand it.
It's just that after the last person who didn't believe in evil was caught and thrown on a tree branch in front of the door, no one dared to do this again.
Even the theory is just a theory in a dream, and it cannot even give birth to the desire to come to the door.
"Why don't you drink yourself to death, you cowards? If you do, I will definitely give you a red envelope!" He cursed angrily, and the man next door, Lao Wang, covered his head and fell asleep.
But he may not know that while he was covering his head, a dark shadow was passing by in his small courtyard.
The night in Chang'an is peaceful, but under this tranquility, there are countless undercurrents hidden.
At this time, in the magnificent Daxing Palace.
Li Jiancheng, who was supposed to stay in the military camp, was quietly walking to Li Yuan's palace.
"Your Majesty, the prince would like to see you..."
In the warm palace, Li Yuan had just finished bathing and before he was ready to go to bed, a nervous little eunuch hurried over to report.
"Prince? Let him in quickly."
Li Yuan, who was yawning, perked up when he heard that Li Jiancheng was coming. He waved to the little eunuch to lead him in without thinking too much.
The door to the palace was slowly opened by the guard.
Li Jiancheng, who followed the little eunuch, came in from outside with a chill all over.
However, when he saw Li Yuan waiting for him in the room wearing only one piece of clothing, he hurriedly turned back and closed the door tightly.
Li Yuan saw Li Jiancheng's actions and couldn't help but reveal a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
People are always close and distant.
This is just like the five fingers on a hand all look different. This is true for oneself, let alone others.
Not to mention anything else, it is in Li Yuan's heart.
Although Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji were all his own flesh and blood, he was always closest to his eldest son Li Jiancheng.
This is also the biggest reason why Li Jiancheng’s position as prince has never wavered no matter how outstanding Li Shimin’s performance is!
"Jian Jiancheng is back? Hurry... come here quickly and let dad see if he is injured!"
Excitedly, he waved to his son. At this moment, Li Yuan behaved like an ordinary father when his son returns! He didn't look like the leader of a country or the lord of the Nine-Five-Year Plan.
Li Jiancheng's eyes were a little red, he nodded, walked a few steps to Li Yuan's side, then knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', and said in a trembling voice: "Father, my son is very good, not injured! It's just that he hasn't been injured these days.
When I see you, I miss you so much!"
"Okay, okay! As long as you're not hurt, that's fine, as long as you're not hurt, that's fine!"
Looking at Li Jiancheng kneeling in front of him, Li Yuan's eyes were also a little moist.
His wife Dou passed away early, and whenever he saw Li Jiancheng, who was most similar to Dou, he would always feel some pity for no reason.
Bending down to help Li Jiancheng up from the ground, Li Yuan patted his shoulder and said emotionally: "Father is doing well here! You don't have to worry about your father outside. Besides, I have Shimin here to accompany me."
"younger brother??"
For some reason, after Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuan talk about Li Shimin, his body trembled unconsciously, as if he heard something scary.
Although Li Jiancheng's actions were slight, they were still not hidden from Li Yuan.
Li Yuan paused his hand, frowned and asked, "What? What's the matter?"
"No, it's okay!" Li Jiancheng turned his face away, smiled bitterly and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Li Yuan's doubts became more intense. He slowly turned to Li Jiancheng and said slowly: "If you have anything to do, just tell your father! Father will comment! Are the people of the world worried because they did not go to counter the rebellion this time?
I am resentful, so I am secretly causing trouble for you?"
"No..." When Li Jiancheng heard what Li Yuan said, the bitterness on his face became more serious. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Father, Erlang did not cause any trouble for the child! It's just that along the way, what he saw and heard along the way
It just makes the child feel a little uneasy."
"Afraid? Why are you anxious?" Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
Li Jiancheng bit his lip: "This..."
Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "You and I, father and son, have nothing to say. Just say it. Even if you are wrong, my father will not blame you!"
"Okay..." Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He swallowed hard and said to Li Yuan: "Father, you have been living in Chang'an for a long time recently, and you may not know the outside world! Now outside Chang'an, especially in the
In Luoyang, Hebei, Shandong and other places, the world only knows Erlang's evil reputation and has no idea of his father's kindness!
Boy's army has tried this before: as long as it is Erlang's army, all the enemies it encounters will be frightened and flee! But if it is the Xiong Zong army of the Tang Dynasty, it will be difficult and difficult to move even an inch."
When Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Li Yuan's face turned dark, but he quickly covered it up:
"Ahem, these places were originally conquered by Erlang, so those people should be afraid of him. Don't worry about Jiancheng. It's not a bad thing to make others afraid."
"Well, the kid is not overly concerned!"
Li Jiancheng raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan, then lowered his head and continued: "Erlang's battle reputation is due to his fighting with real swords and guns. It is natural for the enemy to be afraid of him! But you don't know, father, that outside, Erlang not only has a fierce reputation on the battlefield.
!
The child once visited the market and found out about Erlang's help from the thunder! The appearance of the divine turtle! The blood and life of a human being! Such miracles were widely spread in people's mouths! Even when the army passed through Shandong, there was Fan Yanglu's family.
, a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang asked Hai'er about Erlang."
"Fanyang Lu family, Xingyang Zheng family?"
Hearing these two names, Li Yuan became obviously silent, and his face lost all expression.
However, Li Jiancheng, who knew his father best, knew that what he just said had really hurt him!
In fact, the prestige and signs he just mentioned were all used by Li Jiancheng as a foreshadowing tonight!
His real killer move lies in this last sentence! In this seemingly insignificant gossip.
(Note, Shandong in the Tang Dynasty was different from Shandong today. Shandong in the Tang Dynasty generally refers to the east of the Taihang Mountains, including parts of today's Hebei Province, Shandong Province, and Henan Province!
