Mother summoned Li Xuan to ask him a question, but did not let him sit in on the deliberations of the ministers, and hurriedly drove him out - but did not let him be idle, and ordered him to go to the Xiangshan Temple outside the city to offer incense on behalf of the Son of Heaven - but left me by my side. There are more people arguing today, not only Di Renjie, who is strong in illness, but also Wu Sansi, Wu Yizong, Wu Youji, Li Dan and others, I euphemistically mentioned Cui Mingde's name to my mother, My mother was very impressed with her, not only ordered her to come in, but also announced Ah Shao, and even He Lou and Xu Zhenruhai also called over, and when they came and went, there were no less than forty or fifty people gathered in the hall, and they were very restrained at the beginning. Comparing the pitch of each other, Gao Yanfu came out to remind him several times, but he didn't suppress the momentum, but it intensified.

After this day, there was no quarrel with the result, and in the evening the ministers withdrew, I was already dizzy, thinking of Ah Huan in my heart, and wanted to go to the East Palace again by discussing the northwest affairs with Li Xuan, but my mother stopped me: "You have also listened to it for two days, according to your opinion, what should be done in the northwest?"

This fact is not easy to answer, I was stunned, I decided to see my mother, she has been very serious since the ministers entered, and it has not changed a little now, when staring at me, her eyes were sharp, as if returning to her youth, my heart moved slightly, and for no reason I gave birth to some long-missing awe, and I pondered: "Son... Ignorance. ”

Mother narrowed her eyes: "What, could it be that you are also new from the domain, and you don't know anything?"

I was stunned, bowed down unconsciously, and whispered, "A-Niang." Just about to argue, I remembered what my mother asked in the morning, and Cui Xiu, Cui Mingde and Dugu Shao had all expressed their hearts and minds today, and suddenly understood their mother's thoughts, and said prostrately: "If you only take the interests of my country as a matter of interest, son... Naturally, it is the main battle. ”

My mother didn't say anything, I sorted out my thoughts, and slowly said, "But King Huaiyang... Shoujing is the beloved son of Brother Wei. Brother Wei Wang is already in danger, if he hears that the imperial court is at war against the Turks, I am afraid... Everything points to disaster. "Mother's feelings for Zhuwu are not important, Zhuwu is not important, and even the northwest itself is not important, what is important is the attitude of the Li family towards the Wu family, and this attitude is far more than I can think of the degree of "avoiding suspicion", what my mother expects is that we are closely united like entanglement, and regard the affairs of the Wu family as the affairs of the Li family, and the order of the king of the Wu family as the order of the king of the Li family - but it is the northwest, the Turks who have been exterminated for several years and then revived, and the border pass that we have been operating for a long time.

I gritted my teeth and said for a while, "Son... I can't bear to see Brother Wei in such a situation, and he can't go against the interests of my country, it's really... Dilemma. ”

Mother's fingers slowly knocked a few cases, that is her usual means, the sound of beating can disturb the thoughts of the people below, a rhythm can promote people's hearts to beat faster, more nervous, I have already learned her method, but when I was treated like this, but I still sweated, I didn't dare to wipe it, I could only lie down more and more, and whispered "A-Niang", the rhythm of the mother's beating paused, after a while, I got up from my seat, refused Wan'er's support, slowly walked to me, and looked at me from top to bottom: "You treat you Brother Wei Wang... That's all?"

I said: "Don't hide it from my mother, I don't treat Brother Wei Wang so closely." I can't bear it, purely because of A-Niang. Gritted his teeth, raised his head to look at her, his hands clenched into fists, and his heart beat like a drum: "Purely based on personal likes and dislikes, I don't really like King Wei." But he is A-Niang's nephew, the son of the Wu family, and the son... Respecting A-Niang and loving A-Niang, so even with respect and love for the Wu family. It is because he knows the affairs of the northwest, and it is more advantageous for the court to fight the main battle, and he can't bear to fight the main battle. ”

The mother said lightly: "However, you are not the main one. Seeing that I was silent, he lowered his eyes and looked at me: "I don't ask you about the pros and cons, I only ask you, if it is not Huaiyang Wang Shoujing who falls into the Turks today, but Jinyang Wang Shouren, Beihai Wang Shouzhong, and Fuyang King Li Qianli..." Or is it the King of Shao's observance?"

I was shocked, and said, "Etiquette... It is the eldest son of Ah Brother, the eldest grandson of Ah Niang, and the heir of the sect... Nature is different. ”

Mother said, "Really?"

I know no, at least not Li Qianli. Although I don't like this fat nephew who doesn't know how to learn at all, but he is my nephew, and this matter is deeply ingrained in my blood, if he falls into the hands of the enemy, my decision to fight will never be so hasty, it has nothing to do with my relationship with their father, my good fourth brother, who died early, has hardly ever been in contact with me, and he, like Wu Chenghe, has coveted the crown prince - and I have never even thought of saving Wu Shoujing.

I don't know whether to condemn myself for being cold-blooded, or whether to condemn myself for being subtly influenced by male power, and I feel that the sons and nephews of the same clan should be closer to the sons and nephews of other families, I only know that I can't answer my mother's words.

Mother was silent for a long time, the incense burner was curling with Buddha incense, exuding a refreshing breath, her face was hidden behind the curling smoke, and she couldn't see her clearly, I remember that she seemed to be like this a long time ago, but I can't remember when, I opened my mouth to call her in the dead silence, but for a while I didn't know whether to call her "Your Majesty" or "A-Niang", she looked at me for a long time, and after a long time, she finally opened her mouth:" You don't want to leave the palace today, just live in the palace, think about the things in the northwest, and tomorrow your brother will make suggestions, and you will also play a trick. ”

I couldn't speak, so I could only lie on the ground and whisper, "Yes." ”

My mother looked at me for a long time, and after a long time, Fang sighed: "I remember when you were a child, once, Tubo asked for you to be a kiss. We couldn't bear it, so we went to someone else. Other people's parents can't bear it, but they can't disobey us, so they can only happily send their daughter out. Tubo was naturally unhappy, and used this as an excuse to ask for a lot of more property, and you Aya and I agreed without hesitation. After that, the Tibetan army disturbed the border and plundered frequently, so we will forget it. If we were only talking about the interests of the country at that time, you may have already buried your bones in the yellow sand now, but you are still here, by your mother's side - do you understand?"

I was silent for a long time, and then I kowtowed and said, "I understand." ”
