Chapter 177 Chapter 4 Sheliu Golden Valley Garden

The Sixth Everlasting and Everlasting Chapter Four Sheliu Golden Valley Garden Wang Lin of Jiajun is the third son of King Xian of Qi. His biological mother is Wang Zhengfei Qin Shi.Shi Wang was ordered to town Zezhou and take him to the army.In the twenty-seventh year of Wuwei, the king of the county went to the East China Sea with his father, and saw Princess Changle of Ningguo. The princess felt sorry for her innocence, so she brought the king of the county back to Chang'an. In the fifth year of Longsheng, Princess Qi Jiaping and Princess Lin Bi gave birth to a son Zhuo, who was established as the eldest son.Emperor Taizong conferred the title of Prince of Qi on his third son.

——"Yong History.Biography of King Jiajun In fact, Lu Yun was not surprised when he received the post from King Jiajun Li Lin. After arriving in Chang'an, Lu Yun tried to find out the origin of King Jiajun. This matter is not a secret, in fact it is quite common The Chinese talked about it with great interest. Li Lin, the king of Jiajun, the third son of Li Xian, the king of Qi, was originally the son of Qin Zheng, the concubine of the first Qi Dynasty. The mother is precious, and Li Lin's position as the eldest son is not guaranteed, and King Qi didn't care about this son-in-law at first, so everyone thought that Li Lin would have no future, not only his half-brothers, but also the princes in the palace. Even slaves dared to bully him.Unexpectedly, King Qi paid more attention to this son, and even took him with him when he went to Zezhou Daying to guard him. A few years later, Li Lin met Jiang Zhe and Princess Changle in the East China Sea. Not long after Princess Changle returned to Beijing, she was re-accepted by the royal family and became the prince's companion. This is the beginning of Qingyun's road.Even after King Qi married Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping, Li Lin's status was not affected. Lin could not inherit the position of Prince Qi, but he was far superior to those concubine princes who could only be made idle marquises if they had no achievements. Moreover, Li Lin was highly valued by the crown prince, and his career in the future would be smooth sailing, so although Li Lin was young, But he has become a powerful figure that Dayong's government and the public cannot but pay attention to.

However, the people in Chang'an are most fond of talking about the independent specialty of the Jiajun king. Although he is only eleven years old, he is still an ignorant child in ordinary people, but this county king has already made a name for himself in Chang'an. During the day, besides accompanying the prince to study, he wandered around Chang'an with his guards. He laughed out loud, saying that this son has the demeanor of the king of Qi back then, so he kept the memorial and did not ask about it. In this way, no one in Chang'an would dare to offend the king of Jiajun.Fortunately, although the king of the county is domineering, he doesn't like to bully the weak, and often has acts of fighting against injustice, so the people of Chang'an don't dislike him. is not bad.

And this Jiajun king's greatest hobby is to recruit warriors. If he meets someone with high martial arts skills, he will try his best to test that person's strength. Although they were few, his vision was very precise, and almost all those he liked were outstanding. Later, a letter of recommendation from King Jiajun was more effective than a document from the Ministry of War.So although King Jiajun would often make trouble out of nothing and embarrass others, anyone with a heart knew that this was a good opportunity rather than a trouble. Although Song Jian and others have been in Chang'an for a long time, they don't know much about these things. On the contrary, the local snakes in Chang'an know very well. If his identity is clean, he is likely to get a good chance of promotion, but some people are worried about him, because although King Jiajun is usually domineering, his actions that day were still a bit unusual.After learning that it was Zhaohua County Princess Jiang Roulan who was traveling with the county king that day, those people had ambiguous expressions. After Lu Yun questioned for a long time, those people told Lu Yun vaguely that Zhaohua County princess is deeply loved by the royal family. Beloved, it is said that both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Jiajun obeyed her. If Lu Yun had more experience, he would naturally understand the meaning. However, he has either studied at home and practiced martial arts, or lingered in the military camp, so after hearing this, he only felt that the cloud was in the air. In the fog, I don't know why.

But no matter what, Lu Yun came to the conclusion that King Jiajun would never let him go, no matter if it was good intentions or malicious, and his only solution was to wait for King Jiajun to make a move. There is no death, but if you are lucky, you may be able to take the opportunity to get close to the target of the assassination.So when he received Li Lin's invitation, although Lu Yun was annoyed by the commanding tone of the above and the look of the guards who came to invite, that if you didn't go, you would be tied up, he still agreed to go to the meeting. Riding along Zhuque Street, the magnificent and majestic buildings on both sides were dizzying for the eyes, but Lu Yun didn't care to look at them. He was about to enter Dayong's imperial city, which made him both excited and terrified.From time to time on the road, he saw forbidden troops patrolling. Lu Yun knew that this was because Emperor Yong's birthday was approaching and the capital's defenses had been strengthened.When they arrived at Suzaku Gate, those guards were used to going in and out every day, chatting and laughing happily with the guards guarding the gate, but they still had to hand over tokens for verification. I have seen it personally.

After entering Suzaku Gate, there is Chengtian Street which is connected to Chengtian Gate. On both sides of the street are various government offices in three provinces and six ministries. On the other side, it was Jingfengmen Street. After walking through Jingfengmen for a long time, he entered Anxingfang. Qi Wang's mansion occupied almost a quarter of the area of ​​Anxingfang. King Jiajun had not yet opened his mansion, so naturally he still lived in his father's mansion.Lu Yun didn't know, but with Li Lin's token, he could walk directly from the corner gate of the imperial city to the Qi Palace through the streets between Shengyefang and Chongrenfang.

But it was Li Lin's special arrangement to let Lu Yun come in this way.Firstly, Lu Yun's identity is a little unclear after all, and he doesn't want him to come into contact with those shortcuts. Second, he also wants to give Lu Yun a bad impression through the strict atmosphere on both sides of Zhuque Street. By the way, let's take a look at Lu Yun's bearing. In his mind, he aimed at Yun Lu, a young man from Southern Chu, not Lu Yun, the eldest son of General Lu Can of Southern Chu, so he didn't expect that although Lu Yun was quite emotional, he was not intimidated at all, so when he saw Lu Yun's expression When he was still so calm and indifferent, he couldn't help being a little surprised. After all, for a commoner, the majesty of the imperial city was enough to deter and suppress his mind.

The place where Li Lin received Lu Yun was his residence Jingu Garden, which is a relatively independent garden. Staying in Jingu Garden, King Qi was originally Li Yuan's favorite prince. When he opened the mansion, Li Yuan rewarded him with the most property in the Huangzhuang. Even his palace was wider than the palaces of Li An and Li Zhi. luxury.Although Li Xian could share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in the army, he still liked luxurious people, so the Golden Valley Garden he lived in for many years was really prosperous and magnificent.After Li Xian and Lin Bi got married, the husband and wife were in harmony, so they naturally moved back to the inner house. After Li Lin became the county king, although he had not opened the mansion because he was young, it was inconvenient to live in the inner house, so Li Xian moved Jingu The garden was given to Li Lin.Li Lin's temperament is more wild than Li Xian's, and he doesn't care much about these garden scenery, so he never changed the layout of the garden, but when Prince Li Jun and Zhaohua Princess Jiang Roulan came to play, they each chose their favorite places to stay , and then forced Li Lin to remodel it several times according to their wishes.

After Lu Yun walked into the Golden Valley Garden, he couldn't help but be dazzled. Although the Lu family was a general for generations and had no worries about food and clothing, the heads of the past generations were clean and self-sufficient, so the gardens at home were no better than ordinary officials. Yun has also seen the world, and besides, he is not very greedy for glory and wealth, so he quickly settled down and followed the guards to Biyun Pavilion. There is Longshou Canal passing through Jingu Garden, which gathers a pool of clear water. More than 90% of the buildings in the entire garden are built near the water. The poolside is piled up with rocks, and the rockery is about 20 to 30 feet high. Fangyuan, there is a small two-story building with flying eaves on the mountain, and only a winding mountain road paved with black stones can pass up and down.As long as a team of imperial guards is guarding at the foot of the mountain, even first-rate masters don't want to come in and out casually.

Walking along the mountain road, Lu Yun's heart calmed down instead. Based on his experience as a general, he naturally knew that this place is not only a Jedi that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also a good place for house arrest. However, he must be an ordinary boy, and no one would It took such a lot of trouble, so it must be Li Lin who summoned him at his residence, which is also a kind of favor.Walking up to the top of the mountain, one can see at a glance that Biyun Pavilion is alone and deserted. Although the rockery is covered with thick soil, only some low evergreen shrubs are planted. At first glance, there is no sign of spring. , On the contrary, I feel that there is a kind of gloom in late autumn. The pavilion is as lonely and domineering as a young man standing in front of Zhulan with his hands behind his back, overlooking the blue waves.

Lu Yun walked behind Li Lin, bowed down and said, "Caomin Yunlu, I greet His Royal Highness Jiajun Wang Qiansui." However, Li Lin refused to make him flattened, and said coldly: "This king called you here, do you know what the purpose is?" Lu Yun said neither humble nor overbearing: "The grass people offend His Highness, if His Highness punishes them, the grass people will have no complaints." Li Lin turned his head and smiled, his stern demeanor was immediately destroyed by the childish smile, he came over and supported Lu Yun with his own hands and said: "It seems that I can't scare you anymore, the Japanese king was also a little excited that day, and I couldn't help humiliating you, But you were disrespectful to Princess Zhaohua that day, no wonder this king is angry, today this king invited you here, firstly, he wanted to make amends to you, secondly, this king also wanted to see your archery skills. " Even though Lu Yun was hostile, he felt warm in his heart, and thought, no wonder the King of Jiajun has such a reputation at such a young age, he deserves to be the beloved son of Prince Qi, a famous general of the Dayong royal family.He got up and bowed, "Please order from the prince of the county." Li Lin turned his gaze and said, "I don't have a school yard here. Zhaohua doesn't allow me to build it here, but it's just to see your archery skills. It's too troublesome to go to the father's school yard. You might shoot that tree." After that, he pointed to a willow tree near the water in the distance. There was a hundred and fifty steps away from the rockery, and there was a huge difference in height. If you want to shoot the willow tree, you must be a first-class archer. Lu Yun's bow and arrow had been taken away by the guards, and he was about to ask Li Lin for it, when a guard came over with a pair of bows and arrows. As soon as Yun saw the bow, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to pick it up and wipe it for a long time, loving it.After several times of drawing the bow with empty strings, he took three carved feather arrows, drew the bow and shot, only to see three wisps of black light flashed away, and the three carved feather arrows actually shot on the same willow branch.A hundred paces away, three consecutive arrows hit the wicker fluttering in the wind. This kind of archery can already be called a magic arrow. Li Lin's eyes shot brightly, and he sighed. Still full of nostalgia, Li Lin smiled and said: "Okay, brother Yun, your archery skills are really extraordinary, this bow is refined by the Ministry of Industry, and it is one in a thousand, and only such a precious bow is worthy of your archery skills. The king will give you this pair of bows and arrows, and you cannot refuse." Lu Yun loved the bow and arrow very much in his heart, and he also wanted to get close to Li Lin, so he bowed and said: "Thank you for the reward from the prince of the county, the grass people are ashamed to accept it." Seeing his boldness, Li Lin was overjoyed, and said: "Your archery skill, how can you fall into the rivers and lakes? I heard that you have no relatives in your hometown. Why don't you stay by my king's side and be a bodyguard? I am very brave, and you have a bright future here." Si Jin, so as not to be a slave to the dishonest and treacherous ministers of Southern Chu." Lu Yun knew that Li Lin had inquired about his fake background from the caravan, so he intentionally showed hesitation and said, "Caomin is from Southern Chu, and it's hard to leave their homeland. Besides, I'm afraid that because of their background, it might be a hindrance." Li Lin said with a smile: "You are overthinking. I am tolerant of all rivers and rivers. I never care about these trivial matters of origin. Don't say that you are from Southern Chu. Although the two countries have exchanged troops, they have been friends for many years. It is the original Northern Han Dynasty. The soldiers of the army are mostly stained with the blood of our Dayong soldiers and civilians, and they are still being reused today." Lu Yun pretended to let go of the block in his heart, and said happily: "If you are such a grassroots, I would like to thank the county prince for his appreciation and support." Li Lin said: "This is also your own ability. You are not very old, and it is not convenient for you to join the army now. How about you stay by my king's side as a guard. If there is a war in a few years, you can go out with me. Make a name for yourself, and in a while, you will write down your life experience and give it to my head guard, and you will be a registered guard after Wen Cao, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, has a reply." Lu Yun's heart trembled. Although the young county king loves talents, he is not a credulous person. However, he thought to himself, if there is not a period of time, it will be impossible to prove the authenticity of his background. Not total nonsense.He claimed that he was from Yunqiao Village, Jiangxia, his parents died, and an uncle left his hometown many years ago. It is said that someone had seen him in Chang'an, so he came to look for his relatives.This Jiangxia Yunqiao Village does exist, although it has nothing to do with Lu Yun, his ancestral home is Wu County, Jiangxia is the place where his grandfather guarded for many years, so Lu Yun is no stranger to the situation in Jiangxia Township.Besides, Southern Chu has been adjacent to strong neighbors in recent years, and people from border villages have moved into Dayong everywhere, so his life experience is not completely groundless, and there may not be such a young man looking for relatives and leaving home in Jiangxia Yunqiao Village.Moreover, Lu Yun claimed that because there was no crown ceremony at home that day, he did not have a name. There was only one baby name called Erlang. He wasn't worried that his true identity would be discovered. Even if he found something wrong, according to his estimation, Li Lin would not necessarily kill him as a spy.Besides, after this period of time, even if he couldn't succeed, he still had a chance to escape, so Lu Yun bowed his head and said yes, without showing a trace of panic. Li Lin didn't find it strange when he saw that he was obedient. Although Lu Yun was very cold and arrogant that day, after all, his status was very different, and he treated each other with courtesy. Naturally, he shouldn't be too hypocritical. Recruiting an excellent young guard, he smiled and said: "Yun Lu, you don't have to be too formal, the rules in our house are not as strict as those of other houses. After your identity is verified, this king will take you to see your father. He also wants to see you." Look at your martial arts." Lu Yun's heart trembled. King Qi's reputation in Southern Chu could stop children crying at night. He had killed countless people in the two battles in Jingxiang, and now he has leveled the Northern Han. In the rumors of Southern Chu, King Qi is synonymous with butchers. Of course, in Lu Yun's mind, King Qi is one of his father's opponents, and if he has the chance to meet him, he would really look forward to it. In the following days, Lu Yun was left in Biyun Pavilion by Li Lin. Biyun Pavilion was Li Lin's dorm. Lin has always arranged people of Lu Yun's status here first, which can not only play the role of house arrest, but also mean that he is trusted and valued. It coincides with Emperor Yong's birthday, and the court is very busy. Li Lin has to enter the palace to accompany the prince almost every day. Lu Yun's identity has not been found out, so naturally he cannot enter the palace. Although Li Lin is not around, there are always guards by his side. To accompany him, even politely dissuaded him from leaving the Golden Valley Garden, but Lu Yun was shocked but helpless.A few days later, it was Emperor Yong's birthday, which was celebrated all over the world, and Li Lin was left in the East Palace by the crown prince. Lu Yun could only sit in the city of sorrow, wishing to give up the assassination and escape, but the Qi Palace was heavily guarded, and Lu Yun couldn't walk around casually at all. , simply smashed his cans, stayed in Biyun Pavilion and refused to go out. At most, he had doubts about his identity and lost the opportunity to get close to the target. On the third day after Emperor Yong's birthday, Lu Yun was summoned by Li Lin who had returned from the palace. When Lu Yun walked in, he saw a middle-aged official standing silently, while Li Lin sat on the main seat and looked at the tissue paper in his hand. .This time Li Lin was not wearing the usual black arrow suit, but the prince's costume, the apricot yellow robe and the golden crown on his head. Although he was young, he was already quite tall, and he looked majestic, resembling a royal atmosphere .Seeing Lu Yun coming in, he smiled and handed the tissue paper in his hand to Lu Yun, saying: "Although it's not sure, your identity is probably not a problem." Lu Yun held back the surprise in his heart, and took the tissue paper, on which were written some small characters, recording the family background of a young man in Xialu Village, Nanchujiang.His father was a low-level general who was wounded and retired from the army, and his mother was a lady from a scholarly family. Both of his parents died of illness, and his family members were scattered. One uncle's whereabouts are unknown. He practiced martial arts since childhood and was proficient in archery. He left his hometown three years ago. He has not yet been crowned, and his baby name is Erlang, but because he has no clan members, his age is unknown.Lu Yun almost exclaimed, unexpectedly there was such a person, although it was somewhat different from his own description, but basically he could vaguely pass it on. Lu Yun couldn't help but secretly thanked God while he was glad that his life experience would not hinder him. Li Lin went to the piece of tissue paper and said: "No wonder you are outstanding in archery. It turns out that you are Ke Shaoqiu. Since your identity is no longer a problem, walk by my side from now on. I will send off Princess Hongxia and the Wang Yibin returns to Daizhou, you can go with me." Lu Yun's heart moved, if he saw Princess Hongxia off, King Qi and Princess Jiaping would definitely go there, and he couldn't help but look forward to seeing so many famous generals in one fell swoop.
