Chapter 24 Li Shimin's sour words
The emperor's posthumous decree has reached the Dugu family, and now there is only one male left in the Dugu family, Dugu Mou.
Li Yuan's mother, Queen Yuanzhen, was born in the Dugu family. She was the fourth daughter of Dugu Xin of the Eight Pillars Kingdom. Dugu Yanyun was Li Shimin's cousin in terms of seniority. She joined the Xuanwu Gate from Jinyang and was one of the nine generals of the Xuanwu Gate. Dugu
Yan Yun has been following Li Shimin and has made many military exploits.
The purpose of sending him to guard Mayi this time was to let him lead the troops in the future conquest of the Turks, which would greatly demonstrate the glorious tradition of the Dugu family, a military family, in protecting the country and the people. Unexpectedly, he would become the tenth member of the Dugu family this time.
Seven men died in battle.
There is nothing wrong with being more kind to the Dugu family, both publicly and privately.
Dugu Mou held the imperial edict in his hand and knelt in front of Dugu Yanyun's memorial tablet. Today, Qin Qiong and others came to the house to express their condolences to their deceased friend, and they naturally cared deeply for their deceased friend's only son.
"Mou'er, listen to mother, your father's hatred will be avenged by the court. All the men of the Dugu family have died in the war, and you are the only one left. If you have any problems, how can your mother face the Dugu family?
Where are our ancestors?" Mrs. Dugu wiped her tears while looking at her son.
Dugu Mou was withdrawn, taciturn, and had few friends. His daily pastimes were practicing martial arts and reading. Dugu Yanyun loved this only son very much during his lifetime and considered him the hope of revitalizing the Dugu family.
Dugu Mou respectfully placed the imperial edict in his hand on the incense table, turned around and said to Mrs. Dugu: "Mother, the men of the Dugu family have always been happy to take revenge. The child will avenge his father's revenge. The child heard that General Li Ji
The Tonghan Army is confronting the Turks on the northern front. My son wants to join the army, but he cannot leave his father's body with the enemy."
When Mrs. Dugu heard that her son was going to join the army, her beauty suddenly changed color. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Dugu Mou: "Mou'er, there are already seventeen mutilated corpses in the ancestral graves of the Dugu family. If you make a mistake, our family will die."
It’s too late, mother doesn’t agree with you going.”
"Mom, you don't need to persuade me, this is the fate of the general's children." Looking at her son's leaving figure, Mrs. Dugu knew that the men in the Dugu family had always been so stubborn and could not be persuaded to come back.
After a long sigh, he knelt in front of Dugu Yanyun's memorial tablet and whispered to his husband about the events of Dugu Mou's childhood and the emperor's favor to the Dugu family.
Although the purpose of the court meeting was achieved, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little regretful because he didn't see Wei Zheng angering the prince to death. After handling government affairs, Li Shimin rarely had the time to write poems. Li Shimin's face could not be refuted, so Li Chengqian had to
Pretend to be a compliment as if you were watching your father's work.
After a while, the song "Drinking Horses and Walking to the Great Wall Grottoes" was written down on the paper by Li Shimin's beautiful hand.
Outside the Great Wall, there is a sad wind, and the ice on the Jiaohe River has frozen. There are hundreds of waves in the vast sea, and there is thousands of miles of snow in the Yinshan Mountains.
Guarding against dangerous beacon fires, the mountains and hills lead to high altitudes. The banners are rolled leisurely, and the horses are drinking as they come out of the Great Wall.
There are traces of riding on the cold sand, and the sound of breaking wind in the early morning. Hu dust clear jade plugs, Qiang flute rhymes with golden horns.
Fighting in the desert, the chariot disciples shake Yuan Xi. The captain rebels against Longdui, and the general turns around Mayi.
The fog is quiet in the atmosphere of Yanghui, and Ji Shi has achieved fame. The deserted descendant is wearing a military uniform, and a triumphant song enters the Lingtai.
"How about this poem about my father? Come on." Seeing Li Chengqian's fake expression, Li Shimin was very angry. Damn it, how can you write it? Then he continued: "Come on and write one too."
First of all, let me take a look. Yu Zhining and Yu Shinan have both come to sue you. If you have done a good job today, I will not pursue it. Otherwise, I will let those two old masters teach you."
Well, the secret must have been exposed. Besides, he didn't offend those two old men. Li Chengqian scratched his head. He knew a lot of ancient poems. Those famous writers must be better than second-rate writers like Li Shimin, but this would steal his father's limelight, so he would inevitably go back.
Let Queen Changsun take care of it.
I hesitated to pick up the pen, trying to make up a few sentences and get over it.
Holding lanterns, dancing with swords, and drinking strong wine, beating drums and singing wildly, thinking of hometown. At night, under the moonlight, tigers drive away wolves and leopards, and frost wraps around bows and knives.
The heroic spirit is full of eternal sorrow, and the generous and tragic song rushes to the battlefield. Xiaoguan is full of moonlight, the wind is cold to the bones, and the sword energy inserted into the sky is cold in the moonlight.
Well, Li Shimin, please give it a try. This guy’s writing is pretty good. He has both the bones and heart of poetry. “What do you want to call this poem?”
"Well, it's called Congjun Song"
Li Shimin, who re-wrote Li Chengqian's military song, nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: Chengqian is good at everything, but he doesn't want to talk like Qingque. But if the relationship between father and son is all flattery, then it is still father and son.
Okay, think of the corner of Li Shimin's mouth
There was a hint of smile. Empress Changsun brought the cooked lotus seed soup to Li Shimin: "This seven-character poem is your majesty's new work, right?" She picked it up and tasted it carefully, "Well, it does express the warrior's thoughts and battlefield.
The desolation is so tragic, I will let it be framed."
Of the two poems, the eldest son chose one written by Li Chengqian, which is embarrassing. "Well, the poem you picked up was written by Chengqian."
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Qian'er has never been on the battlefield, how can he write a poem with such artistic conception? Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."
"This poem was written by Qian Qian, but I just copied it again. I originally thought that only Qingque was talented among the poets, but now it seems that Qian Qian is also a good one. Guanyin maid, you have given birth to two children.
What a good son."
"Aren't they also your Majesty's children?" Queen Changsun smiled sweetly. How could she be unhappy as a mother when her son was so successful?
Outside Chang'an Mingde Gate
I heard from Hou Junji that he met Dugu at the Ministry of War, who came to issue documents, and that he was going to Li Ji's Tonghan Army to serve as a captain. Since Li Xiaochang turned against the case, the relationship between Li Chengqian and Hou Junji gradually became good. This may also be the case.
historical inertia.
Li Chengqian had been waiting here with Heng Lian early in the morning, and he admired Li Chengqian, the "General of the Yang Family" of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Dugu Mou, is here to see His Highness the Crown Prince." When he saw Li Chengqian, Dugu Mou quickly dismounted his horse and saluted.
Li Chengqian helped Dugu Mou up and said: "I heard that you are going to the British Crown Prince, and I am here to see you off." "Here is a sword and a piece of writing that I have sent to you. I hope the general returns in triumph."
"How dare I accept such a generous gift from His Highness?" Before Dugu Mou could finish his words of rejection, Li Chengqian interrupted him: "This is also my respect for the seventeen generals of the Dugu family. General, don't refuse. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. General
Take care of yourself."
Seeing that Dugu Mou accepted Li Chengqian's gift and could not refuse it. When he opened the letter that Li Chengqian gave him, Dugu Mou was so moved. This was the best compliment to his Dugu family.
