The poem reads:
Li Shimin missed the old general, and the civil and military officials were full of tears.
Chen Lin dressed up as a servant girl and entered the palace to mourn for her father.
Qiuhua complained to Shen Zhenzhu but did not win, causing the civil and military officials to laugh out loud, and the interesting scenes continued to be watched. "In that case, your son is a hundred times more wronged than your son-in-law!”Qiu Huayi said shyly in Shen Zhenzhu's arms. Li Shimin laughed and said,"You're innocent!"”Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh,""Big Brother, the two sisters-in-law are too beautiful. As beautiful as the Empress!" "Yeah!" Zhang Chong laughed. I, Zhang Chong, am so blessed to be able to marry such a beautiful girl.”Qiuhua was still lying in her mother's arms after hearing this. She was very happy in her heart. Qing 'Er was also very happy in Zhang Chong's arms. "Ai, mother, did father kneel down and propose to grandfather?”Qiuhua smiled at Shen Zhenzhu. Shen Zhen Zhu's face turned red when she heard her daughter's words. He looked at his daughter in his arms and laughed,"You wretched girl, why are you still asking?!"”Qiuhua saw that her mother's face was already red from embarrassment and smiled."Mother, you are embarrassed again." "Wretched girl, how dare you mock mother. Your father really knelt down before your grandfather.”Three or four days later, Shen Xueliang returned to his office and Li Shimin came to the upper room. He didn't dare to say anything. Chen Zhongren stepped forward and cupped his hands."Brother Shen, do you still recognize me?" Shen Xueliang sized him up and finally recognized him. He hugged Chen Zhongren and shouted,""I didn't expect it to be you, Brother Chen! This was great! Brother Chen, why did you enter the residence in secret?" As she spoke, she let go of Chen Zhongren. "Brother Shen, take a look at who he is.”Chen Zhongren pointed at Li Shimin and laughed. Shen Xueliang looked at Li Shimin again and quickly knelt down,"I didn't know that the Crown Prince had arrived. I hope Your Highness can forgive me.”Li Shimin helped Shen Xueliang up and smiled,""What crime does Shen Yantang have? When I came here, I entered the residence under an anonymous name. Shen Yantang loves his people like his own son. I am touched. I came to the residence for a person!”As he said that, Li Shimin knelt on the ground and asked Shen Xueliang for a marriage proposal,"Father-in-law, accept my three bows!”With that, he kowtowed three times.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you, you are blaming me for killing this lowly official!”Shen Xueliang knelt down as he spoke. Chen Zhongren helped Shen Xueliang up and said with a smile,""Brother Shen, you don't need to be afraid. This is the grand bow that His Highness the Crown Prince should give you.”Shen Xueliang had no idea what was going on. He stood up, but his heart did not. At this moment, Shen Xueliang's face turned pale and he didn't know what to say. Think about it, the Crown Prince kneeling before the magistrate, what kind of logic is this? Who was the Crown Prince? Everyone knew that according to the forty-first law of the Great Tang: A dragon could not kneel down. If it did, the official would face the disaster of extermination. Think about it, how could Shen Xueliang not be afraid? Exterminate the entire sect! I'm not afraid of that! "Father-in-law, don't be afraid. This isn't a disaster of extermination, but a blessing of glory. This prince's purpose for coming here this time is for your precious daughter Shen Zhen Zhu. I beg father-in-law to help me and agree to my marriage with your daughter! I will love Miss Zhen Zhu well!”Li Shi Min knelt on the ground and begged.
"Crown Prince, why didn't you say so earlier? You scared me to death!”Shen Xueliang was finally relieved. He quickly helped Li Shimin up. Li Shimin looked at him and smiled." Father-in-law, your daughter is as beautiful as Chang'e. I want to make her the queen. Father-in-law, can I?"”"Your Highness, how can my daughter be loved by Your Highness? That is the blessing that she has cultivated for several generations. This old man has nothing to say. Oh right, the emperor…" Shen Xueliang was overjoyed, but he had a concern. Before he could finish his sentence, Li Shimin interrupted him with a smile,"Father-in-law, please accept my three bows!”With that, he knelt down and kowtowed three more times. Shen Xueliang helped Li Shimin up…
Chen Zhongren and Li Shimin went to the inn to bring the horse back to the Shen residence and also heavily rewarded the shopkeeper and all the waiters. After Li Shimin bid farewell to his father-in-law Shen Xueliang, mother-in-law and Shen Zhenzhu, he rode back to the capital with Chen Zhongren.
reality
"Ahahaha... I say, emperor, oh emperor, you almost scared your father-in-law to death because of your marriage proposal!”Sun Wukong was the first to laugh. "Second brother, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Chong also said with a smile. Father, how many years has it been since that old General Chen passed away? Why hasn't Chen Lin mentioned it?”Li Shimin stood up and said sadly,""Old General Chen sacrificed his life for the country in the Battle of Pingguan. That year, Chen Lin was only thirteen years old. When the Battle of Pingguan began, Old General Chen asked me to lead troops into battle (the first year of Zhenguan). I tried to dissuade him again and again, but he insisted on asking me to lead troops to the war. Because the situation at the border was critical, I agreed to his request. He had ordered him to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to the battlefield of Peace Pass. On the battlefield, the old general bravely killed the enemy, charging without retreating, killing countless enemies. However, the enemy's reinforcements continued. Old General Chen knew that he had fallen for the enemy's trick. He then sent out 3,000 elite soldiers to cover the retreat of the army. After three days and three nights of fighting, the army retreated from the battlefield of Ping Pass under the cover of Old General Chen and the 3,000 elite soldiers. They returned to Chang 'an safely. Six days later, the soldiers at the border reported,""The old general was completely annihilated, and the old general swore to his death not to surrender. He killed countless enemies by himself, and in the end, he died from being pierced by ten thousand arrows.'After receiving this news, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.”Li Shi Min sat back down.
Li Shimin was already in tears. The heroic image of Chen Zhongren appeared in front of his eyes. He cried,"After receiving the news, Zhen didn't dare to tell the thirteen-year-old Chen Lin the grievous news of the old general's death in battle, fearing that he wouldn't be able to take the blow. Thus, I hid it from him. He was the only child in the family residence. Zhen was worried and personally went to the Chen residence to bring the thirty-year-old Chen Lin into the palace. Coincidentally, Hua 'er was only seven years old that year. He had nothing to do in the palace all day, picking flowers and searching for fruits. Zhen let Chen Lin play with Hua' er. Chen Lin was very sensible. He led Hua 'er until he was eighteen years old. I really wanted to give him a family to pass on to the descendants of the Chen family and let the old general close his eyes in the netherworld. However, Chen Lin did not agree, so I did not force him. I have regarded him as a royal guard with a sword and have never told him the news of the old general's death. He asked me several times, but I didn't tell him. It's been eight years. The old general has passed away for eight years, but I still can't forget him! Every day, I stay in the study alone, looking at the sword that the old general used when he was alive. Now that Chen Lin is already twenty-five years old, it's time for him to start a family. As long as he doesn't get married, I'll let down the dead Old General Cheng!”Li Shi Min was already crying so hard that he couldn't speak. The civil and military officials were also crying non-stop, and so were the others. Today was the eighth anniversary of General Chen's death. Li Shimin had summoned all the officials to secretly investigate Chen Zhongren (Chen Lin was not summoned, but he came by himself and did not show up. As for where he was hiding, it would be known soon.)）。
"The emperor's dragon body is the most important! It has been eight years since Old General Chen passed away. The Emperor is deeply saddened by his death.”At this moment, all the officials and everyone present knelt on the ground. Sun Wukong was so moved that he knelt on the ground side by side with Zhang Chong. Everyone knelt down densely and shouted like thunder. The servant girl kneeling beside Qin Shubao cried until the sky turned dark and the sun and moon lost their light. I don't need to say it, everyone can guess it. That's right, this "woman" is Chen Lin. "Dear ministers, what's wrong with you? My body is extremely comfortable. It's just that I miss Old General Chen too much. If it weren't for Old General Chen, I wouldn't be where I am today with my beloved consort! How could I have today! Beloved ministers, all of you quickly get up. I'll take this opportunity to tell Chen Lin the news of Old General Chen's death in battle. I'll let him get married as soon as possible to pass on the Chen family's incense, so that the Old General can rest in peace on the road to the underworld!”Li Shi Min wiped his tears and waved at the crowd.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Everyone stood up after thanking him. Only the "servant girl" knelt on the ground and cried. Everyone felt very strange. Li Shimin looked at it for a while and asked,"Beloved consort, why does this servant girl look so familiar? Which Gong is she from?" "Replying to the emperor, ChenQie has never seen her before!”Shen Zhenzhu replied after looking at it for a while. "Little girl, why are you kneeling and crying?" Li Shimin asked the maid. Are you General Chen's daughter? Impossible! The old general only had one son, Chen Lin. He did not have any daughters!”Zhang Chong came in front of Chen Lin and used his left hand to support Chen Lin's chin. He looked at it for a while and said in surprise,"It's you! When did you come in?" "Who are you talking about?" Li Shimin shouted.”At this moment, everyone was waiting for the answer in surprise. "Father, he is Chen Lin!”Zhang Chong said to Li Shimin. Everyone whispered after hearing this. Before Li Shimin could react, Chen Lin came to Li Shimin and knelt down, crying,"Emperor, Chen Lin has offended his superior by deceiving the emperor. I hope the emperor will punish him!”Li Shi Min squatted down beside Chen Lin and said,""Chen Lin, how can you lie to the emperor! I didn't summon you, so why did you dress up as a servant girl and come in?”
"Replying to the emperor, this official came today for the sake of missing my dead father. She was afraid that the emperor would be even sadder, so she disguised herself as a servant girl and entered the palace. When she heard the emperor's memories, she couldn't help but shed tears. When he heard the news of his father's death from the Emperor, he felt even sadder. Chen Lin would repay the Emperor's kindness to the Chen Family with his life. The Emperor could not forget his father. Chen Lin would do anything in his next life to repay the Emperor's kindness.”Chen Lin cried with tears streaming down his face. " Chen Lin, I've let down your father. I've let down your Chen family. I…" Li Shi Min hugged Chen Lin and cried. However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Lin interrupted him,""Emperor, what are you saying? The Emperor's kindness to me and my father is as great as a mountain. If Chen Lin wants to protect the Great Tang for thousands of generations like my father, I will repay the Emperor's kindness. If Chen Lin dies on the battlefield, I hope the Emperor can send someone to bury me with my father. I want to stay by my father's side and take care of him forever.”"Chen Lin, zhen won't allow you to speak nonsense. Zhen will ask you, when did you learn of the news of the old general's death?”Li Shi Min helped Chen Lin up and let him sit beside him. He also let Zhang Chong and the others sit down. The civil and military officials also sat down casually. Zhang Chong was holding Qiu Hua and Qing Er, Sun Wukong was sitting in his original position, Shen Zhen Zhu was sitting beside Li Shi Min, and everyone was waiting for Chen Lin to tell them. "Emperor, if you want to talk about this matter, you have to start from when I was eighteen…
memories
In the imperial garden of the inner court of the imperial palace, a young girl and a few servant girls were happily admiring the flowers and chatting. There were thousands of exotic flowers, such as Chinese roses, four unyielding flowers, white lotus flowers, and lilies. The fragrance was endless, and the laughter was endless. Look at how the girl is dressed: This woman was like a flower. Her face was beautiful. She had a butterfly hairstyle, a golden hairpin on her temples, a golden flower card on her temples, and a silk curtain on her forehead. Look at how beautiful that woman was. Golden earrings hung on both sides. Her crescent eyebrows and red lips were very charming. A golden jade pendant hung on her neck. She was wearing a pink dress. She was not an ordinary woman but an immortal. The pink dress was tied around her waist. The more she looked at it, the more beautiful she looked. She wore blue shoes. Who was this woman? Her Royal Highness, the Princess of the Great Tang-Li Qiuhua. Qiuhua was only twelve years old back then. A twelve-year-old princess was smart and cute, and was Emperor Taizong's happy apple. Whenever Li Shimin couldn't see Qiuhua, he would immediately send Chen Lin to look for her.
"Princess, sigh! You made it so easy for me to find you!" Not long after, a handsome young master ran over from the east corridor and came to Qiuhua's side. The princess is beautiful, the young master is handsome, the young master is wearing a guard's crown, wearing a jade armor and a golden helmet, holding the 'Divine Dragon Sword' in his left hand to protect the country loyally, and to hold the Tang Empire forever. The Imperial Guard with a Sword-Chen Lin. "Brother Chen, why are you looking for me?" Qiuhua smiled at Chen Lin. Chen Lin shook his head and teased Qiuhua." Little Princess, you're already twelve years old this year. The Emperor should find a son-in-law for you. Let's see if you can still be wild in the palace in the future. Let the son-in-law take care of you in the future!"”After all, Qiuhua was a girl. Hearing Chen Lin's words, her face could not help but turn red. She said shyly,"Brother Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm still young." "What?" Chen Lin laughed. Is the princess shy?" What kind of person was Qiuhua? When she was in the palace, even her father, Li Shi Min, did not dare to provoke her easily. A small Chen Lin was nothing.
"Brother Chen, you're so bad!" When Chen Lin was not paying attention, Qiuhua reached out and pulled out the Divine Dragon Sword from Chen Lin's hand, leaving Chen Lin with an empty sheath. Chen Lin smiled and thought," What a beautiful and unruly princess! Even the emperor doesn't dare to offend the princess. Today, I, Chen Lin, will seek justice for the emperor. Look at that girl holding the Divine Dragon Sword with both hands. She really looks like a chivalrous lady. "Big Brother Chen, do you think I want to be a chivalrous woman in the pugilistic world?？”Qiuhua raised the 'Divine Dragon Sword' with both hands and covered her beautiful face with her long hair. At this moment, Qiuhua was really like a chivalrous woman. How could she? There is a poem to prove: Tang Princess Li Qiuhua, both hands holding a sword to chivalrous, fighting injustice in the Jianghu, the people respect loudly. "Ah! It didn't look like it! If you were a chivalrous woman, I would be an idiot!”Chen Lin deliberately teased Qiuhua. Li Qiuhua's arrogance soared to the sky. When she heard Chen Lin's words, she immediately shouted,"Chen Lin, you dare to look down on this princess? Watch how I deal with you!”As he spoke, he raised his sword and stabbed at Chen Lin. Chen Lin shouted,"It's over, it's over. I've angered the chivalrous lady. Don't do anything rash! I'll find the emperor to teach you a lesson!" Chen Lin shouted as he ran, and Qiuhua chased after him relentlessly. The servant girls cheered Qiuhua on. With their encouragement, Qiuhua's aura became even more ferocious.
"Ah!" Chen Linguang only cared about running forward and didn't see that he had tripped over the flower bed. Qiuhua was too fast and didn't manage to stop herself. She fell into Chen Lin's arms and threw the Divine Dragon Sword in her hand more than 20 steps away. "Ah! Princess, you killed me!" Chen Lin looked at Qiuhua in his arms and called out. Qiuhua also looked at Chen Lin and said,""Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was too insensible and caused you to fall.”Qiuhua cried as she spoke. Chen Lin sat up and used his left hand to hold Qiuhua in his arms. He also used his right hand to wipe her tears and said,"Little sister, don't cry. Big brother is fine. As long as it can make you happy, big brother is willing to die. The emperor has shown me great kindness. Chen Lin's life belongs to the emperor and also to little sister. What did his little sister want? Chen Lin, I'll give you something. Even if it's the sun, moon, or stars in the sky, as long as little sister likes them, I, Chen Lin, will pluck them down and give them to little sister even if I have to sacrifice my life.”
"Big brother, little sister doesn't want anything. Little sister just wants to stay by big brother's side forever.”Qiuhua laughed when she heard Chen Lin's words. Chen Lin smiled and said,"Okay, I want to be Little Sister's bodyguard. I can't protect the Emperor." To protect the beautiful princess of our Tang Empire. Alright?" Chen Lin started teasing Qiuhua again. Qiuhua laughed after hearing this and said,"Big brother, is what you said true?”"Yes... It's true. However, I still have to protect the emperor, because the emperor has done me a favor. I, Chen Lin, will forever protect the Great Tang, the Emperor, and my little sister.”Chen Lin stood up and casually pulled Qiuhua up. He even helped her pat the soil off her body and said with a smile,"Princess, I almost forgot. The emperor is looking for you?”Qiuhua looked at Chen Lin and smiled."Big brother, don't call me princess anymore. Call me little sister."”Chen Lin smiled."Alright, Chen Lin will call you little sister. You will be my biological sister from now on."”"Good!" Qiuhua said happily. Come, let's hook." As he spoke, he was about to hook his finger with Chen Lin. Seeing how happy the little princess was, Chen Lin did not think much about it and hooked his finger with Qiuhua. He happily walked towards the Heavenly Dragon Palace (Dragon Virtue Palace: It was the emperor and empress's bedroom.
"Emperor, this minister has brought your pistachios.”Chen Lin and Qiuhua came to the center of the Heavenly Dragon Palace. Chen Lin stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Minister Chen, you did a good job. Please sit anywhere you like." Li Shimin smiled as he sat on the throne.”Chen Lin thanked Long En and sat down on Li Shimin's left. "Father, why are you looking for your daughter?" Qiu Hua said as she looked at Chen Lin who had jumped into Li Shi Min's arms. Li Shi Min stretched out his arms and hugged his beloved daughter,""Hua 'er, quickly tell father which immortal tree your brother Chen plucked you from.”"Father, you're making me happy again. I'm not some immortal fruit. Father dotes on me.”Qiuhua laughed. Li Shimin hugged his pistachio and laughed,"You are my father's happy apple. You are my youngest daughter. If my father doesn't dote on you, who else can he dote on? Your elder brother doesn't need to worry about me, your second brother doesn't need to worry about me either, and your third brother is a few years older than you. However, he is a boy and is much more stable than you. Your elder sister has entered Tibet for a marriage alliance, your second sister will not return until the Mid-Autumn Festival, your three elder brothers have matters to attend to, but they often come to visit zhen. Only you often do not leave father!”Li Shi Min hugged Qiu Hua and said sadly.
If you want to know what will happen next, let's talk about it in the next chapter.
Liu Yuanzhong: " Hello, everyone. I've been working on a lawsuit for others these few days, so I'm not updating regularly. I hope everyone can forgive me. I'll catch up after the matter is over."
