Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 105 The challenge begins
Time passed quickly, and it was the day of the Turkic war chess challenge.

Early this morning, Chang'an Martial Arts Field was already crowded with people.

This martial arts arena is located in the very center of Chang'an, an open-air square built when the Tang Dynasty was first established.

The Turkic war chess challenge was held here.

In the middle of the martial arts arena, a high platform with a height of one person has been erected.

On the high platform, a stone table had already been placed.

There is a 64-square chessboard made of silver and gold on the stone table.

This chessboard is exactly the one that Princess Yicheng and Shirley Anderson once played at the State Guest Inn.

At this time, there was a Turkic warrior standing on it and placing the chess pieces of both sides on the chessboard.

After doing all this, this Turkic warrior stood on the right side of the high platform.

He didn't move at all, his eyes kept looking ahead, as if he was waiting for something.

"The sun is almost at its peak. Why haven't the Turkic envoys come yet?"

"Yes!"

"This challenge was initiated by the Turks to our Tang Dynasty. They won't be afraid of the Turks!"

"Hahaha……"

"The Turks just can't afford to lose..."

"By the way, is there any conspiracy by the Turks?"

"Brother Li, what do you mean by that?"

"Brother Wang, look! The Turks robbed ten cities of our Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was even captured by the Turks."

"Under such circumstances, the Turkic Jieli Khan even sent envoys to our Tang Dynasty to initiate such a challenge."

"Do you think this is normal?"

"Brother Wang, what you said seems to make sense."

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, you two should not discuss these things."

"We are just ordinary people in Datang, poor scholars."

"I have taken the imperial examination three times."

"I still haven't got a single honor. You say we are discussing these important national affairs. Is it necessary?"

"This……"

The common people are talking about it.

"Everyone, get out of the way."

"Your Majesty has come down."

Among the crowd, I don't know who shouted such a sentence.

So the crowd exploded and gave way one after another.

The first thing I saw was a team of Qianniuwei slowly walking towards the martial arts arena, led by General Qianniuwei Xu An.

Immediately after that is the dragon chariot that the emperor Li Shimin rides on. There is only one seat on the dragon chariot, and that is the emperor's throne.

Li Shimin is half lying on the throne of the dragon chariot.

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

"Wake up, we've arrived at the Martial Arts Field."

Eunuch Xu, who had been standing by the side holding a hand fan to fan Li Shimin, bent his head down and whispered something in the emperor's ear.

"Ok!"

Li Shimin's eyebrows moved, and then he opened his eyes.

……

Behind the dragon chariot is the phoenix chariot on which Empress Changsun rides.

Empress Changsun's phoenix chariot is not open to the air like the dragon chariot.

The phoenix chariot was not completely exposed to the air, but the face of Empress Changsun was covered by golden silk.

After Li Shimin sat down, Eunuch Xu shouted loudly to the people in the martial arts arena.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has reached..."

"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted long live.

Li Shimin gently stretched out his hand to signal, and sighed softly.

"Flat body."

As the people shouted again.

"Thank you!"

Wait for the people to stand up.

The dragon chariot and the phoenix chariot entered the martial arts field one after another.

"Is this the dragon chariot and the phoenix chariot?"

"Unexpectedly, in this Tang Dynasty, there is such a technology. Admire! Admire!"

Among the crowd, Li Kuan, dressed as ordinary people, saw his father and mother coming.

He was very interested in the dragon chariot and phoenix chariot that the two elders rode on.

He knew that this "chariot" refers to the chariot drawn by people in ancient times, and later developed into chariots carried by people and chariots drawn by horses.

Although it has been a long time since Li Kuanhun passed through Datang.

but.

This was the first time he saw the dragon chariot and the phoenix chariot.

The dragon chariot and the phoenix chariot are similar in shape.

It's just that the color is different, and the phoenix is ​​not completely open to the air.

I couldn't see the face of Empress Changsun at all.

You can only see Li Shimin sitting on the dragon chariot.

"Brother Kuan, I also want to see the emperor and queen."

Li Kuan's clothes were pulled by a little girl.

"it is good."

He hugged the little loli and raised it above his head.

Just at this moment, Li Shimin's eyes glanced over.

Isn't this my son?

This Kuan'er is really fooling around. The majestic King Chu of the Tang Dynasty actually disguised himself as a commoner and mingled with the crowd. How unbecoming is this!

Li Kuan dressed up as a commoner, and was quickly recognized by Li Shimin.

In fact, the reason Li Shimin was able to recognize Li Kuanlai so quickly was not because the emperor's eyes were "poisonous".

It was because of his son Li Mingda.

Sizi didn't dress up much, she still kept that princess look.

She didn't even change her clothes, they were still the princess's clothes.

Li Kuan was not worried, as some people in the crowd recognized Sizi as the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, if such a little girl suddenly appeared in the crowd, who would think that she is a princess?

Unless there are important court officials and people pretending to be common people among the crowd, no one will believe that Sizi is the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

"Eunuch Xu, has the Turkic mission arrived yet?"

When Eunuch Xu heard the emperor's question, he quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, not yet."

"This Turkic mission is so majestic!"

Li Shimin's teeth gritted with hatred.

If it weren't for my Minister of the Ministry of War, it would be in your hands.

Although Li Shimin hated the Turks very much, as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme of the Tang Dynasty, especially on this occasion.

It is even more impossible for him to show his thoughts.

[I don't know who designed this dragon chariot and phoenix chariot. 】

[I never thought that in this era, we could have such a power system. 】

[In this era, there is no electricity, what do the dragon and phoenix chariots use to generate power? 】

At this moment, Li Kuan's voice rang in Li Shimin's mind.

Li Shimin looked at Li Kuan in the crowd again.

Unexpectedly, his second son would actually become interested in Long Nian and Feng Nian.

"Everyone, look!"

"Everyone, look!"

"The Turkic mission is here."

"The Turkic Mission is here..."

Among the crowd, someone shouted something.

Li Kuan also moved along with the crowd, making way for the Turkic mission to pass.

"I have seen the Khan of the Kingdom of Heaven."

"I have seen the Empress of the Tang Dynasty."

Ashina and other Turks saluted the Emperor and Queen of the Tang Dynasty one by one. Even the Turkic Queen Princess Yicheng also bowed slightly.

"Brother, who is that person?"

"She doesn't seem to be from our Tang Dynasty, nor does she look like a Turkic person."

Sizi, who was lifted above his head by Li Kuan and sitting on his shoulders, looked curiously at Shirley Anderson in the Turkic Mission.

"She!"

Li Kuan smiled softly and said, "This person is of mixed race."

"What is a half-breed!"

"Mixed race means her father is from Tang Dynasty and her mother is Turkic."

"Oh! I see, it turns out to be like this, this is a half-breed!"
