In the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty, the war with the Turks had just ended, and the whole country was in the transition stage from military expansion to economic construction and development.
And our story begins with a small county town called San'in County.
The population here is not large, and the geographical location is relatively remote, according to the standards of Datang, it is an authentic lower county.
Speaking of the special geographical location, where is the special, it is located at the junction of the Turkic, Khitan, and Tang Dynasty, and has been harassed by the border people of the two ethnic groups for many years, so all the people who have a little way have basically moved out of here, and those who are left are basically some fierce hunters and some merchants who do border trade business.
This has caused the population here to be sparse, a lot of land is barren, and it is impossible to complete the task indicators assigned by the above every year, so it has naturally become a lower county.
It is said that on this day, on the official road from Shuozhou to Shanyin County, an old man can be seen from a distance who seems to be arguing with a few men in their thirties, but the old man who should be in a weak position is very excited, and a few men who should be in a strong position seem to be submissive.
"If I don't go back, you go back and tell the second child, just say that it was Lao Tzu who said it, let him treat me as if there is no Lao Tzu like me, no need to send someone to me, get out, get out of here" The old man was domineering, facing a few strong men, one by one, he yelled, completely ignoring the expressions of those men who were about to cry.
Finally waited for the old man to stop shouting, and one of the men squeaked and said: "Emperor Taishang, let's go back, even if you don't want to go back to the palace, it's okay to be closer to Chang'an, this is located at the junction of the three parties, it is too dangerous, if something goes wrong, Your Majesty is completely out of reach."
"Then let him treat me as if I am dead, anyway, my two sons are also dead, and my queen is also dead, and I am not missing one."
The old man continued to shout.
Speaking of his son's death, several men shrunk their necks, and none of them dared to speak, only the leader continued to persuade: "The Emperor, don't say that, if Your Majesty knows, I'm afraid I will be sad." ” And hearing this, everyone must have understood that this old man is none other than Emperor Li Yuan, the biological father of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin As for why Li Yuan appeared in Shanyin County, Shuozhou, without it, he just wanted to run away from home.
Thinking that Li Shimin inherited the throne for more than three years, he could only nest in the East Palace and go to court, Li Yuan, the old man, naturally didn't have a taste in his heart, so he gave up the Taiji Palace side to his second son out of reason.
But let it go, emotionally speaking, Li Yuan, the old man, couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, the more he pondered, the more he felt sorry for his wife, and the more he pondered, the more he felt aggrieved, so in this anger, when Li Shimin went to Shuntianmen to watch Jieli dance, the old man ran away from home.
The book returned to the main story, but it said that this old man, a few strong men, one side wanted to continue to run away from home, and the other side wanted to persuade him to go back, and the two sides were in a stalemate on the official road, and no one would budge.
At this time, a young man dressed as a peasant came from a distance, and when he saw the situation from a distance, he immediately ran over with a loud shout: "Hey, what do you want to do, isn't it a shame to bully the old man in broad daylight?"
Bullying the old man is embarrassing, this is saying that a few of us A few men looked at each other, and said in their hearts: What a fool, can't you see who is bullying who now?
But after thinking about it, the answer still has to be answered, the young man came suddenly, God knows what his real purpose is, so the leader of several men quickly turned around, looked at the young man coldly and asked, "Stop, who are you?"
"Who are you, what do you mean by stopping an old man?"
the young man did not say his identity, but only glanced at a few men, and his gaze lingered for a moment on their hands holding the hilt of the sword.
In fact, it's not that those men really want to kill this young man, but their main duty is to protect Li Yuan and not let this old man get hurt at all, so they will be on strict guard against this young man who came out of nowhere.
However, what was very surprising was that Li Yuan's old man suddenly spoke at this time, and if he didn't make a sound, he was shocked: "This kid is my son, you all get out of the way of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to go home with my son." ” "Puff Tong" just opened the frame, and the man who was going to stretch out to measure the skills of the young man was unsteady on his feet and fell directly to the ground.
And the young man also looked at the old man dumbfounded, his mind turned a thousand times, and he held back a sentence for a while: "You are not my father, you are my ancestor" "Even if it's your ancestor, it's you who take advantage" The man who fell to the ground had just gotten up, and when he heard the young man's unconscious muttering to himself, he took over the conversation with disdain.
However, no one paid attention to him, Li Yuan was noble and too lazy to pay attention to him; And the young man was still in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
And just when everyone was so embarrassed that they didn't know how to continue, the old man Li Yuan spoke again: "Lao Tzu has found his son, you guys get out, go back and tell your master, just say that Lao Tzu will not go back." ” "Too, sir, you, you can't do this.
This person is unidentified and you" "Who said that the identity is unknown, didn't the old man say that he is my son" Li Yuan looked at the young man and said with a heart: "I have walked all the way, and no one has come to meddle in my affairs, and now there is one, who else can I do but my son?"
The young man finally realized what was happening at this time, his face changed, he glanced at the men again, and said with a forced smile: "That, I still have something to do, you continue" After speaking, he turned around and left.
As a result, before he took two steps, an old man's voice came from behind him: "Stop, what are you doing?"
"Take a different route and see if you can find another mother to come back and pick you up when the time comes."
The young man sent by the devil replied.
"Poof" A few men were immediately amused by the young man's answer.
However, Le Guile did not dare to disobey Li Yuan's order, since he had just said that the young man should stop, then they had to stop the young man.
"What do you want to do Immortal Jump, I'm a rural person, I have no money" Facing a few strong men, the young man took two steps back and distanced himself from him.
The immortals danced a fart, if it weren't for the emperor's order, the old men would not bother to pay attention to you, a guy who is not a ghost or a ghost.
Several strong men looked up and down at the young man surrounded by them with strange eyes, the inch long hair, indescribably weird, as if he had just returned to the vulgar monk.
And just when the young man and a few strong men were looking at each other and on guard, the old man Li Yuan spoke again: "What are you still doing in a daze, if you don't catch this unfilial son and send him to the official, the old man won't believe that there is no king to control him."
The young man and a few men turned their heads with a blank face, looked at Li Yuan behind them, and then glanced at each other again.
At this time, the young man suddenly had a glimmer of realization in his heart, and suddenly said: "Your old lady is a senile dementia, why don't you escape with me":
