Time flies quickly, the Tang Dynasty has entered the winter at the end of the year, and the war with Tubo did not start in the winter after all, but Hou Junji has occupied the front fortress in Tubo, and the altitude sickness of the soldiers is gradually eliminating.And this winter Chang'an City is not peaceful, there are two major events that are praised by people, one is that the prince Li Chengqian, who disappeared from the palace for more than half a year, has returned, and the prince's lame leg has been cured, and no longer let people point fingers behind his back, and the queen was moved to tears.Everyone is speculating that the prince went out to seek medical treatment, but what is even more surprising is that the prince came back this time and said that the whole person has changed, and even the emperor often praises him for growing up, so this incident has made many people with ulterior motives have new illusions.Another major event is that Princess Changle got married, with the help of the emperor, Du Shaoqing finally held a make-up wedding with his wife Princess Changle in Chang'an, although there were not many people, but they were all good people with Du Shaoqing, and the wedding was not bad.The most important thing is that from now on, even if Du Shaoqing settled in Chang'an, Princess Changle was secretly moved, thinking that her husband stayed in Chang'an because of herself, but in fact, she didn't know that Du Shaoqing was to avoid trouble, or to take revenge, and it was no longer possible to go back to Xia Town, the enemy was strong, and if she left Chang'an City, it would be to die.Because Du Shaoqing's Earl's Mansion is large and there are no maids and servants, when he asked Li Chengqian to come back, he called the third uncle's family and several other guys in his hometown, and Dahu was also taken out of the imperial dining room of the palace, and from then on, the Du family in Luoxia Town lived in Chang'an.Although everyone knows that Du Shaoqing is the son of Du Ruhui, Du Shaoqing did not recognize his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and the ancestral tablet enshrined in his Earl's Mansion is still the Du family in Luoxia Town, which is a mixed opinion of people in Chang'an, but Du Shaoqing doesn't care about these.On this day, the prince Li Chengqian came, Du Shaoqing let him into the living room, and the two sat around the stove, Li Chengqian was embarrassed, six months ago he was still a prince who was almost deposed, who would have thought that after six months, his position would become more and more stable and gain a firm foothold in the East Palace again?
All of this is thanks to the people in front of him, at this time, Li Chengqian really admired the vision of his mother, the eldest grandson, and the queen."
Why does Your Highness have time to come and chat with me today?"
Du Shaoqing fiddled with the charcoal fire in the brazier and asked with a smile.Li Chengqian said unhappily: "You and your fifth sister are married, that's my own sister, why should you call me big brother." ”Du Shaoqing looked at the prince carefully, and smiled: "Big brother?
It's true that you're my eldest brother, but you seem to be a little younger than me, don't you feel awkward?
”"Your etiquette is like this, forget it, I'm not used to letting me call you this guy my brother-in-law.Let's just commensurate with the words, I'm smart, what about you?
”Li Chengqian asked.Du Shaoqing was stunned, the words?
His name is Du Shaoqing, both fathers died early, no one gave the table, shook his head and said: "No, just take it as Shaoqing." ”"It's really weird, you are a talented man who doesn't even have a table, do you want my uncle to help you get one?"
Li Chengqian quipped."
Gotta have it, if you don't have anything to do, I won't accompany you, I said today that I will take my family to Duling to visit the veterans."
Du Shaoqing stood up and began to chase away customers.Li Chengqian looked anxious, and hurriedly said: "There is nothing else, I am here to visit Xian, my father is going to put some burden on me, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it, so I want you to help me, I am your eldest brother, you can't ignore it." ”Du Shaoqing waved his hand again and again, "Don't say that my uncle invited me, even if my father-in-law invited me, didn't I say that I was recuperating from my injuries?"
I've been on vacation with the court for two years, and we've discussed this matter in Luoxia Town, and it's a skill you must learn to select talents, and I can't help you. ”"But you are the number one virtuous person in the Tang Dynasty in my eyes, do you want me to go far and near?
Wouldn't it be a waste of talent if I didn't invite you out of the mountain?
”Li Chengqian asked."
There are countless talents in the world, don't you see how many people are around Your Majesty?
Who has ever seen His Majesty catch a person all day long and use it non-stop?
”Du Shaoqing retorted, Li Chengqian said yes, it can be seen that Du Shaoqing still doesn't want to do anything, so he doesn't entangle anymore, but he proposes to go to Du Ling with him to have a look, anyway, it's nothing.Du Shaoqing put on thick clothes for his daughter, put on gloves and hats, wrapped them in a fine cloak, and got into a carriage with the princess and went to Duling, which was not far from Chang'an.At the beginning, there were 100 guards who followed Du Shaoqing to fight in Tibet, 68 were killed in the battle, and only 32 survived, Du Shaoqing distributed all the only 3,000 taels of silver in the family to the families of these 100 soldiers, it can be said that the pension and rewards are ten times the normal situation in the army, despite this, Du Shaoqing still feels guilty.Because if it weren't for these 100 people sacrificing their lives to save each other, I'm afraid that his life would have been confessed to the Tubo battlefield a long time ago, and he wouldn't have been able to wait for Wu Zhao to send a life-saving antidote."
The eldest prince is here, look, it's the eldest prince!"
All the veterans were arranged by Du Ruhui in a village back then, and it was a good thing to live and work in peace and contentment away from fighting, killing and killing, and someone saw Du Shaoqing's frame and hurriedly greeted him and shouted.Du Shaoqing looked at a veteran whose right arm was broken and wanted to come over to help him get out of the car, and hurriedly jumped down and grabbed the other party first, "Fifth uncle, it's cold outside, you don't dare to see the wind with a broken arm, hurry back to the house to warm up." ”The veteran burst into tears, grabbed Du Shaoqing's hand tightly and said, "Eldest son, what kind of wind and cold are you afraid of?"
When you come here, the fifth child is crawling to meet you. ”"Yes, the eldest prince, we were originally the master's personal guard, and now we are your personal guard, it is not good to protect the prince on the battlefield, let you poison the arrow, you treat us favorably regardless of the previous suspicions, such a great kindness can not be repaid."
Many people gathered around and shouted."
I can't help it, today I'm going to see you and send something for the New Year."
Du Shaoqing saluted everyone one by one, and at the same time beckoned a few guys to drive another delivery carriage over.At this time, her daughter Xuanxuan poked her head out of the carriage, curiously looking at a group of people surrounding her father, a cold wind blew, and the little girl shivered, sneezed three times in a row, tears came down, and shouted to Du Shaoqing aggrievedly: "Daddy, it's too cold, I won't go down!"
”But as soon as she finished shouting, the princess in the carriage was not allowed, and she jumped out of the carriage with her daughter in her arms."
Hurry up, don't freeze Mrs. and Little Miss, let's go, let's go to the fifth child's house, his house has a brazier."
Soon Du Shaoqing's family of three was led to the one-armed veteran's house, Li Chengqian followed without saying a word, and said in his heart When would it be nice if I also had such a group of loyal guards?
