Chapter 79 Section VI

"Tell me, what is Lin Songzhi like?" Ninth Princess asked. Little Button wore a pair of thick cotton socks on his feet, and walked quietly on the Persian carpet. "The princess asks the slave, but the maid doesn't know how to answer." Your idea is bigger than the emperor, what advice can I give you?Xiao Niuzi sifted a cup of hot wine for Princess Nine, secretly said. "You're playing petty again, aren't you?" The Ninth Princess wore a low-cut dress today, and a squirrel-skin long bikini on the outside, with a high bun and long hair, and she knelt by the hearth.If Lin Songzhi saw Jiulang become like this, what would he do? "The princess lifts you up, but you have to improve yourself." She turned her slender waist halfway, her left hand was like pushing a mountain, her right hand was like fishing for gold, and she opened a gold-painted slingshot neatly.The wooden door facing the garden has long been pushed open, and a low table is placed under an old plum tree with twigs twenty steps away. On it are several Dingzhou fine white porcelain teacups, each of which is worth at least a leg of a cow. price.

"Go." There was a ding in my ears, and a teacup shattered in response. The Ninth Princess stood there happily, but Xiao Niuzi didn't even move her eyelids.If Lin Songzhi sees this kind of habitual trick of spoiling things, she will immediately break up with the princess, but she doesn't want to tell the princess about this danger. "I pointed him out to the princess at first, just for fun." In private, Princess Jiu and Xiao Niuzi sometimes act like sisters, and they talk very casually. "Princess, you watched it secretly for a few days, but you suddenly want to associate with him, and even lost his job in Qianniuwei. If he finds out, he won't forgive you." Great benefits, but you don't know what the poor are, and the poor don't understand power and frighteningly large wealth.The more you are like this, the better for me.The little button's abacus is also very good.

Since meeting Lin Songzhi by accident that day, Xiao Niuzi's heart felt like a boiling pot of oil, burning with sadness.Only then did she understand why the concubines and maids would get angry when they mentioned men. I must marry this man! "I've decided, I want him." Princess Jiu smashed another teacup. "Captain Consort Lin Songzhi, sounds good." If the princess marries him, I will have the opportunity to share this man.However, I don't want to share it with the princess, that should be my man.Xiao Niuzi glanced coldly at the princess's red face, and thought to herself.

"When are you going to tell him? He wants to know that you are a woman, but what will happen if he doesn't know?" Xiao Niuzi's speech is like her appearance, she has always been particular about rhetoric and gentle, but today she can't help but feel a little strange. Sour. "I have to think about it again. This kid has a bad temper, and it might be worse if he doesn't manage it." Princess Jiu put two fingers together and put them in front of her lips, a little undecided. Stop thinking about it.Xiao Niuzi sifted a cup of hot wine for himself very rudely, and drank it down in one gulp.That man is mine, even if I die, I will fight with you.She suddenly realized her boldness, but luckily the Ninth Princess was dreaming there, and didn't notice her.Competing for a man with one's own master, the emperor's favorite little sister, one has to be careful.

Little Button was secretly laughing. Gao Tiancheng is not a bloodthirsty person, he has always believed that killing people is for his own profit, and it must not be for his grandma's damn pleasure as some brainless bastards say. After the heavy snow, the wind picked up.Gao Kaicheng unbuttoned the skirt of the sheepskin robe to block the gusts of cold wind, and hid a silk handkerchief under the skirt for a closer look. "Ninety-three paces from the outer lane to the wall," he called to the crossbowmen guarding the bed of a dry river. The crossbowman held a longbow for measuring land, and led two other accomplices to be busy in the river bed.

"Okay." Due to the distance from the north bank where Gao Tiancheng was standing, the crossbowman's voice was a little erratic in the northwest wind.According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, it takes a lot of effort to measure the past with one step at three feet and one inch.But the crossbowman knew that there was nothing wrong with this matter. The place where Gao Tiancheng stood was chosen after they walked dozens of miles.The city wall of Chang'an Palace City is three feet and five feet high, and the Chengtian Gate, the main gate of Nanya, is nine feet higher than the palace wall, a total of four feet and four feet.

Gao Tiancheng once again took a look at the rope tied to the steep cliff bank, the rope buckle tied in advance was just flush with the ground.Walking seven steps in from the shore, several people built a five-foot-high platform with earth bags. On the platform was a beard bed, and on the bed was a solid cloth bag filled with loess.According to the picture sent by Lao He, this is the place where the emperor watched the lanterns at the Chengtian Gate on the Shangyuan Festival. It was his fate that the emperor sat on a high platform and watched the lanterns. If he looked down from the battlements and was covered by a four-foot parapet, most of their crossbow arrows would miss him.

In the leather pouch behind the saddle were the necessities of this regicide.Gao Tiancheng knew clearly in his heart that he had no right to kill the emperor, especially after decades of female lead rule, Datang finally showed signs of stability and prosperity, but the emperor could rule the country, but Gao Tiancheng couldn't. Poor and sick, so the emperor became an opportunity to make a fortune in front of him.Furthermore, it was also this opportunity that rescued him who was originally a death row prisoner. He took out a wooden stick from the saddle bag, carefully unwrapped four or five three-foot-long thin cloth strips wrapped around it, stood in front of the beard bed, and lifted the wooden stick against the wind.The wind is a little unstable. I hope that there will be a light snow on the Lantern Festival like in previous years, and the wind will be much weaker then.

Wind is Fei Ya's enemy! "The wind is to the northwest, and the wind force is four cubits." This is the most common method used by their frontier soldiers in the Western Regions to measure the wind force. Although it is simple, it is very useful. "How much?" The crossbowman's voice sounded strangely distorted. "Four elbows." Gao Tiancheng saw that the crossbowman was waving vigorously at him.He put away the stick, jumped on his horse, and ran three hundred steps against the wind before stopping. A whining sound of sharp blades smashing into the strong wind came from the river bed, and a sharp wind whistle surprised Gao Tiancheng, who was dodging far away.When he rode his horse back to the mound, he himself was stunned by the scene before him.

Six flying arrows, thick and long like short spears, were nailed to the bed in a staggered manner, and the soil bag was pierced by two flying arrows. This crossbowman is really an amazing guy, Gao Tiancheng praised.In order to increase the shooting range, this guy specially added a tail fin to the flying arrow. This short wind whistle attached to the back can not only increase the stability of the flying arrow, but also startle the target with its sharp sound, making him For a moment, his body froze due to surprise. Since the establishment of the state in the Zhou Dynasty, no emperor has been more friendly to his brothers than the current emperor. He often feels a deep relief for his own actions.It is true that he is not the eldest son of the emperor, but who was the one who led the army to kill Queen Wei's family in one fell swoop and saved Tang from falling into the hands of women again?It was him, Li Longji; who was it that helped protect his father to ascend the throne and rejuvenated the Tang Dynasty?It was Li Longji; after ascending the throne, he wiped out the attempts of Princess Taiping and Zong Chuke to usurp the throne in one fell swoop, and who was able to keep the Tang Dynasty stable?It was Li Longji; who cared so much for his brother, and even made a big pillow to sleep with him?It's still Li Longji.

Now, he has received a secret report that someone is trying to assassinate him on the night of Shangyuan and elect his elder brother to the throne.For this reason, the emperor was deeply hurt. A wisp of light smoke fluttered upwards, and the emperor burned the secret report on a Sichuan wax candle as thick as a child's arm.Anyone who sees such a thing is a disaster, as long as the emperor knows it well, there is no need to leave this thing as a disaster for others. Huae Xianghui upstairs, the emperor's four brothers are still waiting there, what a harmonious and beautiful "Treading the Horse Returning to the Wind", a piece of secret report ruined the scenery.The emperor tapped the drumstick of Jiegu lightly in his hand, maybe the news is not true? Ever since the emperor was conferred the title of crown prince for his great achievements in killing Webster and helping the late emperor ascend the throne, Li Chengqi, the eldest brother, has always maintained a humble and condescending attitude, and took the lead in supporting the third brother among all the brothers.How many times have treacherous people tried to take advantage of this unstable relationship, only to be thwarted by the joint efforts of the emperor and his eldest brother. No, I can't be suspicious of my elder brother!Although the emperor secretly made up his mind, the words in the secret report seemed to plant a seed of malice in his heart, and it was like a poisonous snake biting his heart. The murderer was a death row prisoner among the five frontier soldiers from the Western Regions. One of them had been killed by Zuo Jinwuwei's spies, and the whereabouts of the other four were unknown... "Your Majesty." Li Chengqi walked down the stairs, seeing the emperor's uncertain expression, he said with concern. "What happened?" "It's nothing, just a troublesome thing." The emperor moved the corners of his mouth and smiled, and a few wrinkles appeared on his young face. "Brother, how about I make you the emperor's elder brother?" Hearing this, Li Chengqi dropped to the ground on his knees, saluted the emperor, and said in panic: "As the saying goes, the emperor wants his minister to die, and the minister has to die. The emperor is forcing me to die." Seeing that the emperor didn't respond, Li Chengqi said again: "Your Majesty, is this just talking casually? As the king of a country, even joking, it is very dangerous. What I would not do when my father was alive, let alone today." able to do." Li Chengqi is always preparing for this sudden danger. He knows that he will fall into an inexplicable predicament again. This is the sorrow of being the eldest brother of the emperor. The emperor stretched out his arms to hold his eldest brother.This matter may have nothing to do with you, but it does not mean that there is no such matter. "Third brother, the song hasn't finished yet." The emperor's younger brother Li Longye ran downstairs and shouted.In the palace, the emperor has always insisted on treating each other with the courtesy of family members, hence the title. "Okay." The emperor held his elder brother's arm and said with a smile. "Brothers are of the same heart, and their strength can cut through gold. Only our five brothers can play this song "Treading the Horse Back to the Wind" well."
