Chapter 4321 Chapter 4323 [Girl’s Thoughts]
Dou Jiande does not appear in the drama version of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", but he is an important role in the original novel.
He and his general Liu Heitai raised troops in Jizhou, fought for world supremacy, and achieved great victory, but they eventually died at the hands of Li Yuanji. In the book, because of Dou Jiande's death, Kou Zhong and Li Clan completely turned against each other.
In real history, Dou Jiande is also a heroic figure. He was born in the wilderness, but he was very charitable. When he learned that his mother from his hometown had passed away and could not afford to bury her, he contributed money and efforts, which earned him the support of his fellow villagers.
During the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande led the villagers to revolt and first defected to Gao Shida. After Gao Shida's death, he led the rebel army to garrison in Gaojibo. He used the protection of the great lake to fight guerrillas, gradually expanding his power, and eventually unified Yan, Zhao, and Qilu. area, and fought many battles with the Li clan and won.
It's a pity that he still made many mistakes during the process of raising troops, so that he was defeated in the end and was beheaded after surrendering.
After his death, his general Liu Heita avenged him, rallied his old troops, and revolted against the Tang Dynasty. He successively defeated Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong, the governor of Youzhou Luo Yi, killed Li Xuantong, defeated Xu Maogong, captured Xue Wanjun alive, and killed Luo Shixin...is known as the "famous harvester".
In the end, although Li Shimin defeated Liu Heitai and unified the country, the land of Yanzhao was still dissatisfied because of the killing, and the rebellion continued throughout the Tang Dynasty. Dou Jiande and Liu Heitai in the early period, the Anshi Rebellion in the middle Tang Dynasty, the Heshuo Three Towns Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty, etc.
So much so that Han Yu lamented, "The land of Yanzhao has been full of generous and tragic people since ancient times~"
And Dou Jiande has been praised a lot in history books since ancient times. The "Old Book of Tang Dynasty" commented on his "supernatural ability to survive and his heroic judgment", saying that his failure was "the destiny was fulfilled, but the people failed to achieve it." After his death, Yan and Zhao The people also built temples to worship him.
Therefore, it was Xiang Nan's choice to hand over Yang Gong's treasure house to Dou Jiande.
Another option is to hand it over to Zhennan King Song Que.
When the time comes, let him arm his own army and fight against the Tang Dynasty. At least they surrender on the surface and become independent in private.
…
After Xiang Nan loaded up Yang Gong's treasure house, he immediately returned to Taiyuan City.
For the next two days, he still practiced with Xu Ziling every day, but he still took the time to make a small toy and gave it to Song Yuzhi to prevent her from forgetting him.
"Miss Yuzhi, this little toy is for you~" Xiang Nan smiled and said to Song Yuzhi.
"What is this?" Song Yuzhi looked at the box in front of him and asked doubtfully.
I saw that this box was about the size of a palm, rectangular in shape, and had a rocker on the side. I really didn’t understand what it was for.
"This is called a 'music box'. As long as you shake the handle, it can make pleasant music sounds." Xiang Nan explained.
"Really?" Song Yuzhi was a little surprised.
"Yuzhi, you'll know if you try it." Li Xiuning smiled.
Song Yuzhi nodded, and then shook the handle.
Sure enough, as she rocked, a clear and sweet piano sound came out, which was the world famous song "Canon".
"Oh my god, there is really music~" Song Yuzhi was immediately surprised when he saw it. Even Li Xiuning was surprised.
I didn't expect that a small box can produce music by turning the handle. It's really incredible.
"Kou Zhong, is this also a spell taught to you by the gods?" she asked curiously.
"No, I figured it out myself." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, then opened the lid of the box and revealed the mechanism inside.
When Song Yuzhi and Li Xiuning saw the protrusions on the drum constantly oscillating the strings as the rocker rotated, they finally understood the principle of this music box.
Not only were they not disappointed, but they were even more impressed.
Because immortal magic is the magic of immortals, no matter how incredible it is, there is nothing surprising. After all, immortals are able to do things that humans cannot.
"Kou Zhong, you are really ingenious." Song Yuzhi said with sincere admiration. "As long as you like it." Xiang Nan also smiled.
Seeing him say this, Song Yuzhi felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Okay, you guys go play, I'm going back first." Xiang Nan said again, "Miss Yuzhi, Miss Xiuning, goodbye!"
When Li Xiuning saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Song Yuzhi was playing with the music box enthusiastically.
As the only daughter of Song Que, the king of Zhennan, she has been doted on since she was a child. The gifts she receives every year on her birthday are worth more than a thousand gold.
But no gift was as thoughtful and creative as this one, which she couldn't put down.
…
"Yuzhi, do you think Kou Zhong likes you?" Li Xiuning asked Song Yuzhi with a smile.
"How did I know?" Song Yuzhi said shyly after hearing this.
"Then do you like him?" Li Xiuning asked with a smile.
"This... I don't know, but I don't hate it anyway." Song Yuzhi blushed and waved his hand.
"What about my second brother? What do you think?" Li Xiuning asked curiously.
"Brother Shimin, of course he's fine." Song Yuzhi replied immediately.
"Then do you like him?" Li Xiuning asked with a smile.
"I like it." Song Yuzhi nodded.
"Then how about you marry my second brother and become my sister-in-law?" Li Xiuning said with a smile.
When Song Yuzhi heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "No, no..."
Although she likes Li Shimin, she only treats him as an older brother and has no romantic feelings for him.
Moreover, her father Song Que hated Li Clan very much.
Because Li Clan was half Xianbei, and Song Que was proud of being a Han, he would not have surrendered to Yang Jian in the first place, and naturally he did not want his daughter to marry Li Shimin.
Seeing how determined she was, Li Xiuning couldn't help but darken her face, and then smiled and said, "What's wrong? Since you like my second brother, why don't you want to marry him? Are you still afraid of my sister-in-law?"
"Oh, I hate you, stop talking nonsense." Song Yuzhi said shyly, "Why do you keep asking me? I'll ask you too, who do you like and who do you want to marry?"
"I don't know yet." Li Xiuning was stunned, then waved his hand.
"Actually, Chai Shao is pretty good. He has always been sincere to you and accommodated you in everything." Song Yuzhi said with a smile, "If a man treats me like this, I can't help but want to marry him."
"Master Chai is good, but..." Li Xiuning hesitated.
She knew Chai Shao was a good candidate. Not only was he the richest man in the world, but he was also young and promising. He was very good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, military strategy, and economic strategy.
It can be said that among all the disciples of aristocratic families in the world, Chai Shao is still in the first echelon, even if he is not the best.
It's just that no matter how good Chai Shao is, she has no feelings for him.
Although they had known each other since childhood and were both childhood sweethearts, their relationship was not as deep as that of her and Xiang Nan, who had only known each other for a few days.
Therefore, she really doesn't want to marry Chai Shao unless necessary.
