Chapter 516 What a pity
In the morning, Lin Xuan yawned while eating an exquisite breakfast.
After coming back last night, he took a shower under the service of Guo Caiyue.
The process was brought up in one stroke, and Lin Xuan couldn't sleep at night, and didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
After dinner, a group of people came to the wharf of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Hangzhou.
After the ship started, Lin Xuan went back to the cabin to catch up on sleep.
Although many people say that Yang Guang built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to travel to the south of the Yangtze River, no matter what the purpose is, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the north and the south, which not only benefits the people, but also strengthens the connection between the north and the south.
It's just that Yang Guang was too impatient, and finally became the evidence of his stupidity.
Along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, after entering Shandong, turn to another river, come to Luoyang, and go ashore to change horses.
When I left, everything withered. Although I had only been away for a month, when I came back, the grass had sprouted and looked full of vitality.
Along the way, Lin Xuan saw that road construction had already started in many places. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian was quite fast.
"Zi Chu, you're back. If you don't come back, you won't see us." Cheng Chu smiled silently.
"I can't see you anymore? Where are you going?" Lin Xuan asked in surprise.
It's been a long time since we saw each other, but he was still very happy that Cheng Chumo and the others could come to pick him up.
"We have prepared a banquet for you to welcome, and we will talk while eating." Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan nodded, and asked Guo Caiyue and Xi Jun to buy them back first, and took Qiu Fu to go into the city with Cheng Chumo and the others.
"I've troubled Lord Hou along the way, so let's leave now." Lu Yuxuan said.
Yuchi Baolin pulled Lin Xuan and said in a low voice, "What's going on? You went to Lingnan and brought back a woman. Your wedding with Princess Changle is approaching. It's not good to do this at this time."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xuan glared at Yuchi Baolin angrily.
"Miss Lu can do as she pleases, goodbye." Lin Xuan replied, signaling Cheng Chumo and the others to leave quickly.
"I said what's going on?" Cheng Chumo asked curiously after walking a few steps.
"This is a member of the Lu family. He followed me all the way. I don't know what to pay attention to." Lin Xuan whispered.
Several people got on their horses and came to Chang'an Yuque Tower.
Yuquelou is the largest restaurant in Chang'an, located in the bustling area of Dongshi.
When he came to the private room on the third floor and sat down, Lin Xuan said, "Really, what did you mean by what you said before?"
"Your Majesty has already ordered us to break camp and go to the border. Because the weather in the grassland has not warmed up yet, and we are all about to get married, we haven't left yet. But it's coming soon. As long as Baolin gets married, we will set off. " Cheng Chumo said.
"So, your wedding has already been arranged? Didn't it mean February [-]th? I thought it would be in time for a wedding drink."
When Lin Xuan left, Cheng Chumo's wedding date was set, why did it change suddenly?
Cheng Chumo blushed in a rare way, and said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this going to go to war, keep everything simple, keep everything simple."
"By the way, you came back just in time. What Your Majesty means is that you are going to go to war too. Then we brothers can make contributions together." Yuchi Baolin said with a smile.
"I want to go too?" Lin Xuan said in surprise, "My wedding date has already been announced to the world, but I can't change it."
"What your majesty said is that the army will go first and wait until you get married." Qin Huaidao said.
"No, I'm going to find your majesty." Lin Xuan couldn't wait for the food to be served, so he got up and was about to leave.
"Wait." Cheng Chumo held Lin Xuan back and said, "The gates of the palace are almost closed, let's go tomorrow, don't be in a hurry."
Lin Xuan made sense after thinking about it. He sat down and asked strangely: "Why is Your Majesty rushing to send troops to the border now? Did something happen to the grassland?"
It shouldn't be, if there is any change in the grassland, it is impossible that there will be no news along the way.
"This is what Duke Lu Guo said to His Majesty after he returned from his envoy. We don't know exactly what he said, but afterward, His Majesty ordered us to prepare the army to go to the border, and specifically said that we should secretly Go." Cheng Chumo said in a low voice.
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed, Hou Junji wanted to regain power.
I just don't know why, Li Shimin didn't agree, but sent Xue Rengui and the others.
Cheng Chumo and the others said too little information, and they couldn't analyze it for the time being.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several people shut up quickly.
Not long after, a few waiters came in with dishes.
Xiaoer put the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "My lords, the dishes are all served, please take your time."
"Well, you guys go down." Cheng Chumo said.
Yuchi Baolin held the jug and poured wine for everyone, saying: "Come, come, let's congratulate Zichu for his safe return."
Everyone toasted and drank together, and sat down after drinking.
"By the way, did anything happen in Chang'an while I was away?" Lin Xuan asked after taking a bite of the dish.
"As long as it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal in Chang'an. But there is one thing to say. Wei Wang dedicated the "Lanting Collection Preface" to His Majesty. His Majesty was pleased and named Wei Wang the deputy director of road construction. "Cheng Chumo said.
Preface to Lanting Collection?
Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment. Later generations passed on the prefaces of the Lanting collections miraculously.
Even copied ones are worth a lot.
According to legend, Wang Xizhi regarded "Lanting Preface" as a family heirloom, and passed it down from generation to generation until it was in the hands of Sun Zhiyong, the seventh generation of the Wang family.
However, Zhiyong became a monk for some reason, and he naturally had no heirs after death, so he passed on the true copy of his ancestors to his disciple, the monk Biancai.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin collected a large number of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, regarded Wang Xizhi's calligraphy as a treasure, and often practiced it. He admired the authentic "Lanting Collection Preface" even more.
Later, it was found that the original "Preface to Lanting Collection" was in the hands of a monk named Biancai in Kuaiji. There was also a story that Li Shimin cheated "Preface to Lanting Collection". This story added to the legendary and mysterious atmosphere of "Preface to Lanting Collection".
There are many versions about the whereabouts of "Lanting Collection Preface" in later generations, and there are two most convincing versions.
There is a version in which it is said that Li Shimin was buried in the tomb after his death.
Another theory is that after Li Shimin's death, Wu Zetian secretly switched the "Preface to the Lanting Collection", and finally Wu Zetian was buried in the tomb after Li Shimin's death.
No matter which version is said, the last appearance of "Lanting Collection Preface" was in the early Tang Dynasty and ended with Wu Zetian.
Lin Xuan wondered if he should find a way to get "Lanting Collection Preface" from Li Shimin's hands.
It's a pity to take such a treasure to be buried with him.
But this kind of thing can only be thought about. Li Shimin's love of "Lanting Collection Preface" is probably comparable to that of Empress Changsun.
The idea of "Lanting Collection Preface" is tantamount to courting death.
"Zi Chu, Zi Chu, what are you thinking?" Yuchi Baolin saw Lin Xuan in a daze and shouted.
"No...it's nothing. What's going on behind?" Lin Xuan said.
He couldn't say that he was thinking about "Lanting Collection Preface".
Otherwise, Cheng Chumo and the others would definitely think him crazy.
"Naturally, the Crown Prince was annoyed and fought with each other." Cheng Chumo said.
"Chu Mo, don't talk nonsense, how can you talk about the royal family in private?" Qin Huaidao scolded.
Even if everyone knows about royal matters, they cannot discuss them in private. Once it gets out and someone catches them, it will be a big trouble.
