Tang's dining table

If a child from an ordinary family suddenly heard his father talking about his most secret things, he would definitely run away in shame.

Unfortunately, there are three people sitting here eating, one is the emperor, one is the queen, and the other is the prince.

The Tian family has no selfish business, so Li Hong did not run away in a rage. Instead, he made a bun and took a bite. When he calmed down, he said to the emperor: "Is this the case for me that I am twelve years old?"

Li Zhi looked up at his son, who was as strong as an ox, and sighed: "My father was weak back then, and he only had it when he was fourteen."

The queen also came over at this time, stretched out her hand to squeeze her son's strong arm and said to the emperor: "We should decide on the crown princess as soon as possible."

Li Zhi looked at Li Hong who was lowering his head to eat and said: "There are not many people for you to choose from. Do you have anyone else besides Naha?"

Li Hong raised his head to look at his father and mother, and said calmly: "Because Nanaha can't be the crown prince, it doesn't matter who you marry. Even if your father, the emperor, and your mother make the decision, even if you can't love each other, I think you should respect each other like a guest." It can still be done.”

It was obviously a stupid remark, but Li Zhi and Wu Mei were extremely satisfied with their son's answer.

This child obviously loved Naha very much, but he knew right from wrong. Knowing that Naha could not be the crown princess, he wisely left the marriage to his parents and promised to treat the crown princess chosen by his parents well. This child is really too much. You're obedient, you're so sensible.

Wu Mei smiled and said: "There are several beautiful little girls in the mother's harem, why not send them to take care of you?"

Li Hong said while eating in a storm: "Taifu Xu warned the children that they were ridiculous when they were young and shed tears when they grow old. Taifu Li taught the children that when the clouds meet, the dragon and the tiger meet when the clouds are thick, when the fog is heavy, when the clouds are thin and the fog is light." No rain.

Master Yun said that a young man who has mastered the affairs of men and women at an early age is like a small tree encountering a giant axe, and does not know how to control it. It will never make any progress in martial arts. "

Hearing this, Li Zhi chuckled and said, "If you had just agreed to your mother sending the girls into the East Palace, half an hour later, you would know how good those girls are, hahahahaha..."

Li Hong looked at the smiling couple in front of him, feeling rather speechless.

I dreamed of Naha last night, and something scandalous happened somehow, that is, I changed two pairs of underwear and two sheets. At dawn, my father and mother already knew about it.

Li Hong was not surprised at all that his parents knew about his privacy. What he ate, what he did, and what books he read in a day were all recorded. As for his monthly pulse, his The emperor's father and mother can watch at any time, which can be regarded as one of the few expressions of family affection in the Tian family.

"Pei's daughter is pretty good!"

Wu Mei saw that Li Zhi and Li Hong seemed to be in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to propose a candidate for the crown princess.

Li Zhi, who was laughing, suddenly stopped laughing, looked at Wu Mei and said, "Which family member of the Pei family is the daughter of?"

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Hedong heard that Pei Wanying, the daughter of General Pei Judao of Jinwu Guard, is the favorite of the Pei family."

Li Zhi looked back at Zuo Chun, the governor of Baiqisi who was standing at the edge of the curtain with his hands folded. Zuo Chun immediately stepped forward and said: "They are all in prison."

After listening to Zuo Chun's words, Li Zhi said to Wu Mei, "Let's talk about it after seeing it."

Wu Mei was not angry and said with a smile: "There is no one better than her."

Having said this, he looked at Li Hong and said, "Of course not as good as Naha."

Li Hong raised his head and looked at his father and said: "If my father, the emperor, and my mother have decided, then give Pei Judao a noble position and don't serve as General Jinwu Guard again."

Li Zhi said: "You don't like your relatives?"

Li Hong glanced at his mother and said, "My father was wise in dealing with the Changsun family. However, wisdom is wise, and the child's heart still hurts. It's not that the Changsun family shouldn't be dealt with, but because we are relatives.

Since there is something about the eldest son, the child's relatives can only hold noble official positions in the future and are not allowed to hold important practical positions. "

Li Zhi nodded and said, "My son is smart." After saying that, he looked at Wu Mei.

When Wu Mei saw that Li Zhi and Li Hong were looking at him, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Why do you think my relatives are looking at me? I have no relatives now."

Li Hong chuckled and said: "The child is laughing at those uncles who have no eyesight, no talent and no virtue. If the queen and the mother were in love back then, nothing good would be possible now. However, Qi is as stupid as a pig and wants to bully the mother, resulting in her death without a burial place." .”

Wu Mei said angrily: "Why did you think of joking about your mother?"

Li Zhi laughed on the side and said: "When a tiger gives birth to three sons, one of them must have a tiger, but the tiger from the Wu family is your mother's queen. The other two tigers will definitely attack that powerful tiger. As a result, when your mother's tiger grows up, Don’t they have no choice but to die without a burial place, hahahahaha..."

When Li Xian came in with a young panda, he happened to see the emperor, queen, and prince laughing. The scene looked very warm.

After he came in, the first to stop laughing was the queen, then the emperor, and finally the prince.

Li Xian respectfully greeted the three people present. The emperor stepped forward and untied the rope around the panda's neck and said, "This thing has spirituality. Tie it up so that it won't think you are its owner. You should treat it well." it."

Li Xian puffed up his chest and said: "Man is the spiritual leader of all things. He is born to control these beasts, and all things are born to be used by man. I think that you only need to control it and use it, and you don't need to treat it too well."

After hearing this, Wu Mei smiled and said to Li Zhi: "Xian'er's words are similar to some of the words I said back then."

When Li Zhi heard this, his expression immediately turned gloomy. He looked at Li Xian and said, "Who told you these words?"

When Li Xian saw his father's expression worsening, he immediately said, "It was Wang Bo, my son's companion, who said this."

Li Zhi snorted angrily and said to Zuo Chun: "Expelled from the inner palace."

After giving instructions to Zuo Chun, he said to Li Xian: "Take good care of it."

Li Xian turned his attention to his mother, but unfortunately, Wu Mei turned a blind eye to his look for help. As for Li Hong, he remained silent, especially when his father was teaching his son, he decided not to speak.

Eight-year-old Li Xian struggled to pick up the reluctant little panda, saluted his father, queen, and prince again before exiting the palace.

Li Zhi smiled and said to Wu Mei: "Xian'er's etiquette is still thoughtful."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "After all, the child was born through His Majesty's advice, and he will definitely be a good child in the future."

Seeing that the good atmosphere just now was disturbed by Li Xian, Li Zhi lifted Yunchu out of the tank without thinking.

"Queen, do you know that Wang Mingyuan, who you sent to the Western Regions, died in a place called Kangqiongtan.

I heard that before Wang Mingyuan died, he had a dispute with Yun Chu. How is the Queen going to deal with this matter? "

Wu Mei sneered and said: "A life for a life."

Li Zhi added: "There is no evidence to prove that it was Yun Chu who killed him."

"What are you telling me to do without evidence?"

"His march in the Western Region is too wild, I thought I could give him a little warning."

"Did Wang Mingyuan die in vain?"

"Of course his death cannot be in vain. Doesn't this allow you to punish him?"

"Can Yunchu be of use to me?" Wu Mei thought for a moment and looked up at Li Zhi.

"It's impossible. When I was here, he was my subject. If I am no longer here, he will be Hong'er's subject."

"Since he is your subject, why should he be handed over to me for punishment?"

"I can't punish him all the time. Punishing him too often will make people's hearts cold. You punish him and I will rescue him, so that he won't be angry."

What Li Zhi said formed a perfect closed loop, starting with punishing Yunchu and ending with Yunchu's rescue.

It seemed like a series of useless nonsense, but Wu Mei stopped mentioning Li Xian at this time.

It's okay to use others as an excuse, but it's not as convenient as using Yun Chu as an excuse.

When Li Hong left, the queen had already left. When she went out, she heard the emperor say: "You must have filial piety and brotherhood."

Li Hongdao: "If the child is strong enough, anyone will be nothing more than a reptile in front of me."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "You are quite a bit like your emperor. Your emperor is not an open-minded person. It's just that your emperor is too powerful. Some things that others cannot tolerate become trivial in his eyes."

Li Hongdao: "The process of the Emperor's accession to the throne was so tragic that it gave me, the Li family, a very bad start. I am ready to reverse this momentum."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Don't be too strong."

Li Hongdao: "If there is anything excessive, my father will hammer it at any time, and the child will seriously change it."

Li Zhi nodded and let Li Hong leave.

The father and son, until now, still maintain the habit of telling the truth, which has led to a relatively harmonious relationship between them.

If possible, Li Hong would like to maintain this relationship with his father, preferably long-term.

Li Hong still had such hope, but Changsun Chong no longer had such hope, because his father committed suicide in Qianzhou.

Now, everyone hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince can execute Chang Sun Chong or send him away, and the place has been chosen. The best place of exile is Liaodong.

During the joint trial of the three divisions, Chang Sun Chong's crime had been confirmed, but because Chang Sun Chong's family was in the East Palace, they could not enter and could not execute the crime.

In this matter, if the emperor doesn't speak and the queen doesn't speak, no one can walk into the shabby East Palace and arrest Changsun Chong.

Because it was late autumn, the leaves of the sugar beets grown in the East Palace turned red after being beaten by frost.

Changsun Chong was wearing linen clothes and standing in this red beet field. He looked more like an old farmer than an aristocratic young man.

He was indeed an old farmer. Li Hong saw with his own eyes how Changsun Chong had aged ten years in just one year.

"Prince, please help me support myself for a little longer. Last night, I lost two more teeth. It looks like I won't live long."

Changsun didn't even raise his head. He was hoeing the beet fields and seemed to be talking to himself.

"The Gu family knows that you are living such a difficult life just for Gu's face. You shouldn't be like this. Your eldest son, Sun Chong, cannot replace Gu's face.

The reason why I risked the world's disapproval for you is not because of the Changsun family, but because of the great contribution that the Changsun family has made for the Tang Dynasty.

Those who have made merit should be rewarded. Although I cannot solve the current problems in your family, I can still do it to ensure that your lineage will not be cut off. "

Changsun Chong put away his hoe and looked at the prince and said, "Why is your highness helping a certain family in such a lonely way?"

Li Hongdao: "Master Yun once told me that the general trend of the world is vast. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. The fall of your Changsun family is a general trend. However, this general trend is not too big. I think Give it a try and go against this unimportant general trend, what consequences will there be."
