Chapter 633 How dare you not do your best?

Chapter 633 How dare you not do things with all your heart?

(Suddenly I discovered something, written to Ming until now, with more than 2.2 million words, surpassing the imperial ancestors in all respects... I need to be proud and strong. In addition... the small climax is over, the big climax is coming.)

Chang'an City Tai Chi Palace Imperial Study Room

Li Yuan, who had obviously grown a lot in the past few days, was upset and threw the memorial aside. He seemed to feel confused and swept almost everything on the table. A good inkstone shattered, a white jade pen holder cracked a gap, and a porcelain cup shattered into countless pieces.

More than a dozen memorials I had never seen before were dispersed in the ground. Gao Liansheng, the eunuch general manager, knelt on the ground and carefully blew away the ink sprinkled on the memorials, and wiped them constantly with his cuffs, panic and uneasy.

"No picking up!"

Li Yuan strode over and snatched the memorial from Gao Liansheng and threw it on the ground again, then raised his feet and stomped it hard. He looked like an emperor at this moment, but more like a child who was angry and venting. Gao Liansheng had never seen Li Yuan throw something angry, and he didn't know what happened. The emperor's temper has become increasingly irritable recently, and his once gentle and generous personality seems to have disappeared.

"His Majesty calms down."

Gao Liansheng lowered his head and advised: "No matter how heavy the state affairs are, they are not as heavy as His Majesty's body."

Li Yuan glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "You go out too, I want to be quiet. No one is allowed to come into the imperial study without my will, no one is allowed to come to the imperial study room, no matter who it is!"

Gao Liansheng opened his mouth but did not dare to persuade him anymore. He bent out of the door. After going out lightly, he took the door with him. He straightened his body and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. Thinking of the words written on the memorial he had just picked up, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It is said that the emperor is the supreme emperor of the world, and he wants whatever he wants and what he says. But who knows that the emperor is actually the hardest one in the world?

When the King of Qin entered the mountains, he would be afraid that there would be a lot of danger without supplies. Although Gao Liansheng worked in the Jinyang Palace all year round, he knew clearly how dangerous the endless mountains in the southwest were. According to legend, there were gods living in that mountain. Mortals should not enter at will, otherwise they would inevitably suffer from death.

The people passed on a word of mouth a story. In the early years of Daye, a group of robbers fled into the mountain to avoid the capture of the government.

The yamen was short of staff, so they asked Chang'an soldiers to assist in the capture. Thousands of officials entered the mountains and circled around for a few days but could not find the robbers. The robbers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air without leaving any trace. In desperation, the general led the team had to order to withdraw. However, the people outside the mountain waited for three days and three nights but did not see a soldier coming out. When they organized their men to search in the mountains, hundreds of bodies were found by a stream.

One-third of the people died here, and the others disappeared out of thin air.

Later, people said that these soldiers and robbers angered the gods in the mountains and were executed in the mountains. Gao Liansheng did not believe in any gods, but he firmly believed that the mountain was too vicious. Even if thousands of people were ready to enter the mountains, no one found them yet. This only means that they could not find the direction they came back after getting lost in the mountains and were trapped in the mountains and forests.

His Highness the King of Qin would rather go into the mountains and die than come back and admit his mistake.

No wonder His Majesty was so angry that the decree that Li Xiaogong of Yan ordered the King of Qin to bring back the King of Qin was sent out. The news that the King of Qin disappeared in the vast mountains arrived in the Tai Chi Palace. For a man who had just lost his wife and two sons, another son was his last hope.

When thinking of King Qin, Gao Liansheng thought of King Yan.

He raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head slowly, thinking that even he was a eunuch, he could see that the emperor could not recognize this son. He really didn't know why there were so many people in the court who squeezed their heads and leaned against the King of Yan. Even Lord Nayan Pei Ji and Lord Guanglu Liu Zhenghui seemed to be quite close to King of Yan. Can't these people see that the emperor's attitude towards King of Yan is actually very obvious?

Li Yuan sulked in the imperial study room, but Li Xian had been very happy these days. He was like a idler who was fine, wandering around Chang'an City with a few followers all day. It was as if the Queen's death had nothing to do with him. Li Yuan even suspected that if it weren't for the brothels and restaurants in Chang'an City were not allowed to open during the Queen's and Prince's mourning, he would have even visited them one by one.

Li Yuan couldn't help frowning when he thought of this, and his irritability became stronger and stronger.

"His Majesty……"

Gao Liansheng's voice sounded outside the door.

"You forgot what I just said?! Get out!"

Li Yuan wanted to grab something and smash it to the door, but found that the table was empty and there was nothing left.

"General Dugu Xue, the gatekeeper, asked him to come quickly as soon as your Majesty said, "

Gao Liansheng said carefully outside.

"Let him come in"

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, then shook his head in annoyance.

Dugu Xue pushed open the door and walked in, looking at the mess on the ground, his heart tightened.

"My dear Dugu Xue, please see Your Majesty."

"Forgive it!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Now you go, bring the woman named Zhang Wancheng who is imprisoned in the East Palace into the palace, arrange a place at will, and you can take care of it yourself. Don't be negligent and don't allow her to go out. Give her whatever she needs, but no outsiders are allowed to visit her. Go now!"

"Here!"

Dugu Xue responded quickly and turned around and left. He walked out of the door of the imperial study room and looked at Gao Liansheng. The two of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Dugu Xue sighed and left quickly. But no one saw it, and he didn't know why he suddenly picked the corners of his mouth after leaving Tai Chi Palace, and seemed to smile happily.

...

Li Xian took Qing Yuan, Huang Luan and four or five guards to stroll along the streets of Chang'an, as if he was very interested in the shops on both sides. But to be honest, the layout of Chang'an City is too monotonous, and each street is almost the same. If it weren't for the different stores, it would even give people the illusion of being in the same place.

He did not wear a royal suit, but a long crescent-white gown. He tied a jade belt around his waist, and a jade pendant with exquisite workmanship was hung on it, but the red ears were removed. He looked very handsome, and this outfit looked even more elegant. He walked along the way, and I don’t know how many women and girls couldn’t help but chase after him.

The customs of Chang'an City are open. In April, women have already changed into gauze skirts to show their graceful figures. However, in extraordinary times, gauze skirts are all plain. During this period, brothels are not allowed to open for business, and women who have a rare rest lean on the window to chat. I don't know who saw it first. Li Xian couldn't help but exclaim a low praise, and then the window was filled with a few little heads.

"What a beautiful young man... If you have a spring breeze with such a person, I won't charge him any money!"

"You think it's beautiful. Haven't you seen someone wearing brocade clothes? Obviously, he has fame and fortune. How could he look at our broken flowers and willows?"

"Bah!"

The woman who spoke before gave her a blank look and said, "I have almost slept all the officials of the Sixth Ministry and the Nine Ministers!"

Li Xian, who was walking on the street, did not notice the beauty of the window. His eyes occasionally swept across the street stalls, as if he was really interested in everyone and everything in Chang'an City. His pace was very slow, and he stopped from time to time and whispered a few words with the followers behind him.

It was noon in a blink of an eye. Li Xian looked at a snack stall not far away and walked over. He chose a table to sit down and ordered the boss to have a few bowls of hot noodles. His eyes swept across the street, and those who followed them along the way immediately pretended to stop and buy things.

Li Xian smiled, thinking that the people sent from the palace were really not professional enough.

"Oh...Isn't this Manager Wu? Why don't the buns in my store be taken care of my business?"

The boss who sells hot noodles saw an acquaintance and greeted him with a smile.

"You don't know what I sell. Now, when will I dare to kill? What if Jingzhao Yin and the people from Chang'an Mansion know, the Queen and the Prince will be so tragic that I have a few heads that are not enough to cut!"

The boss named Wu sat down, looked at Li Xian intentionally or unintentionally and then left.

"Give me a big bowl of noodles... Oh my, Lao Sun, you dare to put vegetables in the noodles. Don't you know that there are no bright red and green things like red during the mourning period? The streets are full of ordinary people, and even the red lanterns in brothels have been picked. You dare to put vegetables!"

"Shopkeeper Wu, are you still doing this small business?"

"I won't joke with you anymore. My stomach is hungry. You are quick-witted. After I finish eating, I have to go back and close the door to sleep. If I don't have the chance to join the army and fight, I have to dream of siege and pull out the village. Turn into a general who leads thousands of troops, and conquers another city..."

He kept talking, the more he spoke, the more excited he became.

Li Xian smiled after hearing these words, his eyes brightened.

Jiangjunyuan County

Yuan County is close to the Yellow River and is the southernmost county seat of Jiang County. The reason why this place is particularly important is that it is a midway supply station for ships on the Yellow River. Boats coming from the east can go directly to the capital Chang'an. The ships heading east from Chang'an have basically consumed most of the supplies they carry when they arrive in Yuan County, and must be replenished here, otherwise the next stop will have to go to Heyang, thousands of miles away, to have a larger dock.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he knew the importance of this place, so he arranged two elite soldiers from Zhechong camps to guard the city. The general guarding the city was Fang Tong, a fifth-rank guerrilla general recruited by Li Yuan when he was in Taiyuan. However, he was very smart and brave in fighting. In just one year, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a sixth-rank lieutenant. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he was promoted to a guerrilla general and was ordered to station in Yuan County.

The county town of Yuanxian is next to the wharf, and it can be said that the south gate of the county town is part of the wharf. Fang Tong placed two Zhechong camps outside the south gate and east gate of Yuanxian, and he personally led a battalion of troops to station at the Nanmen wharf.

On April 23, a large ship from Jiangnan was docked on the dock. The ship carried new tea for this year and was sent to the Chang'an Palace. The dock manager did not dare to neglect it, so he specially found a good boat seat for the big ship to berth. The sign on the ship was a Tang Dynasty official ship, and the officials responsible for escorting tea on the ship had all printed letters and clearance documents, so there was nothing to doubt. The officials stationed at the dock had routine inspections and then got off the ship. Everyone had a small bag of new tea in their hands, so they were in a good mood.

Late at night, dozens of men in black suddenly rushed out of the official ship carrying new tea. Without exception, they quickly spread out with a bag size package in their hands. Soon, the dock was buried by an explosion. After the fire started, countless centipede clutches flew from the downstream. Taking advantage of the fire, the black-armored warriors on the centipede clutches quickly landed on the shore, and soon they controlled the dock.

A slightly shorter but extremely strong black-faced man carrying a pair of particularly scary copper hammers, he laughed a few times and led a brigade of elite soldiers to rush to the base of Zhechong Camp!

Thirty miles away, hundreds of large ships were slowly moving. At the bow of a huge five-toothed ship, a young man in a Confucian shirt stood. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the faint fire in the distance and said calmly: "My lord is willing to take himself to Chang'an City to relax Li Tang's vigilance. How dare you and I do not do your best? This time, he went on a battle to seek the word "fast". Li Shimin was tortured by Li Yuan. Several warlike generals under Li Yuan were either executed, fled or sent out to suppress the rebellion. Li Xiaogong led his people to chase Li Shimin. Li Daozong led his army to take over Duan Zhixuan's troops. Liu Hongji was left as an official position and was idle at home. Qu Tutong was not sure where to end. Yin Kaishan was cut off his head, and all the elite soldiers of Hedong County were transferred. Such a great opportunity would be unsure... How can you and I be worthy of the lord's clever plan?"

Dozens of generals behind him answered neatly: "Please give orders to the military advisor!"

The man in Confucian shirt looked into the distance, pointed to the front and said, "Put the east of the river first and attack Chang'an!"
