Chapter 531: Father
The sun has not yet appeared, and the morning glow has filled the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
While tidying up the clothes of the previous court for Li Shimin, the waiting housekeeper said: "Your Majesty, look at this auspicious sky, it must be a good omen." ”
"Nonsense, don't say such words. Li Shimin said unhappily.
She didn't expect to slap the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and immediately knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy again and again.
Li Shimin has been very upset these days. Since he became the emperor, he hasn't had a good day of rest, and he feels tired every day.
First of all, the Xuanwumen Rebellion, which had to be killed by brothers, finally became the emperor and ascended the throne. The Turkic army came to Chang'an to sweep and almost burned the city of Chang'an.
Risked fooling the Turks at Baqiao and letting them retreat. After that, there were many traitors in the entire Tang Dynasty, all of whom would fight in all directions. At the same time, natural disasters are also continuous, last year there was a great drought in Shandong, and this year most places in the Tang border are actually in a major drought, and accompanied by a raging locust plague.
If it weren't for the advice of the Gewu Academy, the locust plague would have been prevented as soon as possible. As soon as this drought is alleviated, the locust plague will make all the people of the Tang Dynasty become victims.
Most of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty have become disaster victims! Think about Taicang, which was looted by the Turks.
Li Shimin only felt chilling to think about it. Hundreds of thousands of victims, that's not the enemy, it's not livestock. In the midst of despair, man's most instinctive riot -
Having seen the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he knew it all too well.
Fortunately, nothing happened! Hongnong Yang's Liufang first offered sweet potatoes and potatoes with extremely high yields, and then offered huge salt pans, as well as the use of fire wells to cook salt, so that salt became an item that the people of the Tang Dynasty could afford.
After that, Yang's Liufang established a Gewu Yuan, which solved the propaganda and prevention of locust plagues, so that large-scale locust plagues did not occur after the great drought. In addition, the Yang family's six rooms also did a beautiful thing - took the lead in donating money, materials and rice and grain, so that the major nobles followed suit. Tearing off a lot of hair from the bodies of those misers, even the blood of the belt was torn off, which can be regarded as solving the urgent need of the imperial court.
And in the process of this series, the one who helped himself the most was his third son Li Ke.
Although Li Ke didn't speak, he didn't ask for credit, but he was more like a mirror in his heart.
He remembered that year, in the battle with Wang Shichong, he couldn't attack for a long time, and it was this little man who stood beside him and inadvertently reminded him with a word. Later, he was ordered to recruit Dou Jiande, and Li Yuanji wanted to use Dou Jiande to eradicate him, so the reinforcements were delayed. He went deep into the enemy's belly, and when he thought he was desperate, the rescuer who came was Wei Chi Jingde.
Wei Chi Jingde came to save him, it was not Wei Chi Jingde's idea. He received an order from him, which is said to be his, to send troops.
He was puzzled, and only asked, "Who gave such an order to you, and you dare to come?"
"Ke'er. Wei Chi Jingde raised his voice. He taught Li Ke to ride and shoot kung fu, and he also liked Li Ke, who was tiger-headed and tiger-brained, so he didn't call the king of the county, but also called "Ke'er".
Li Shimin nodded, saying that I asked Ke'er to give you an order. Wei Chi Jingde gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "King Qin is really like a god. ”
Li Shimin was silent, knowing in his heart that this child was not simple.
But this kid -
When he thought of Li Ke's life experience, he couldn't help but sigh.
Since then, Li Ke has been very low-key. Only once, he was recommended to a thorny-faced house slave to join the army. It was a small request, and he agreed. Later, the house slave was brave and good at fighting, and he also made great achievements.
He also knew that Ah Nian who was wearing a mask was actually Li Ke. He personally summoned him in the imperial study, took off his mask with his own hands, and said sharply: "You are a deceitful king, you can be convicted." ”
"The son is guilty. He knelt on the ground, buried his head, and whispered, "I just want to share the burden for my father." However, I am a concubine. My mother and I had to live. ”
"Bastard, why can't you live?" he exclaimed, but his heart softened.
"Father, I think you understand your son's feelings. The young child stubbornly fell to his knees.
"How do you feel? You are a prince and talented, so you should fight in all directions, for the common people of the world, and for the stability of the country. What is there to hide?" he threw the teacup on the ground, the pieces of porcelain shattering and flying. A small piece was hit on the child's forehead, and blood flowed down.
The young child still stubbornly knelt there, and said without humility or arrogance: "My son is not only a concubine, but his identity is not good." My mother said that before I was born, there were people who wanted to take advantage of me. ”
"What do you do? I am your father, and I will protect you. His tone softened.
"Father, you are the king of the world first, and second, my father. If one day, someone says that your son threatens the stability of the country, what will you choose?" Li Ke raised his eyes and looked at him, and said slowly.
He looked at the young child and replied majestically, "The world is alive." ”
The child smiled, showing his white teeth, and the blood from the small wound on his forehead had clotted.
"Father is a great king. He said slowly.
Li Shimin suddenly felt that this son was really different. It's a pity that as he said, he is a concubine, and he has a special status. No wonder Concubine Shu just eats fasting and recites Buddha, never participates in the affairs of the harem, and never gets close to her son.
And this child is not on the stage in almost all the big and small trials. Rao is like this, and those ministers with torch-like eyes still feel that this child is different.
"Ke'er, your name, if you remember it tightly, it will be smooth, you and I are also filial piety to our father. He said slowly.
If he could, he would rather be a father, love his filial son a lot, and give more to this when he divides the family property. It's a pity that he is a king, and his son is right, he is a king first and a father second.
Therefore, he must say such cruel words to his filial son this time.
"Father, I remember who I am. In fact, I have another thing to tell you, I hope that after you hear it, you will not blame your son for not being productive. He said slowly.
"What's the matter? He smiled a little.
Li Ke shook his head and said, "I'll just kneel and say." ”
"Will it me off?" he asked alarmedly.
Li Ke nodded lightly and said, "Yes." ”
"Then don't say it. He grimaced.
Li Ke shook his head, the old story revisited the encounter with the immortal in the dream, and said it clearly. This time, he also said that the fairy told him that his father would be the emperor, and that there were several disasters. One of them was besieged by Dou Jiande. Because of this leakage of heavenly secrets, the fairy was stripped of her immortal status and relegated to the mortal reincarnation. He didn't have any big ambitions in this life, he just wanted to find the reincarnation of this fairy and spend his life with her.
The child's voice echoed in the empty imperial study. After a long time, he said, "Get up." ”
"Father, the child has no great ambitions, but this is the only wish, hoping that the father can fulfill it. Li Ke said and knelt down for a long time.
"Do you have any clues to find this fairy?" As a father, whether this is a child's excuse or a real thing. Since he wants to avoid disaster, how can he not give the child a way to live.
"I have her birthday. It is rumored that he will be reincarnated as the Yang clan of Hongnong. But, Hongnong Yang, I really don't want to touch it. So, when asking the father to marry the concubine, can he leave out the child for the time being? It's troublesome enough to have a Xiao family in the house. Li Ke sincerely requested.
Li Shimin frowned, thinking of Hongnong Yang's family, he had another idea in his heart, so he said to Li Ke: "You should step back first." ”
Soon after Li Ke left, he summoned Concubine Shu and asked her to prepare to choose a concubine for Li Ke, as for the way to choose a concubine, it is subject to the birthday sticker.
Later, after that, he found the reincarnation of the fairy in his dream, and this woman was the amazing Yang Azhi.......
He stood in front of the window, looked at the glow of the sky, and thought a lot about his third son, Li Ke. Now, Li Ke was ordered to go to Hongnong to check the drought situation, and he also solved the problem of food shortage with Yang Azhi, giving a fatal blow to the Alliance of Famous Scholars.
How much this son is to his heart!
Yang's Azhi is amazingly talented, he has not doubted, not worried.
But that's just worry and suspicion. Although he is a king, he can't set up a situation to stifle out possible hidden dangers just because he is worried and suspicious. Moreover, this is still his son.
But now his son was touched.
Those people set up a situation for Ke'er, and the impeachment was clear-sighted. The courtiers want to make trouble every once in a while, and implore His Majesty to recall the King of Shu to the capital for review as soon as possible. Oh, censorship! What was impeached this time was secretly correspondence with the local army.
Isn't that putting the child to death?
But he's a king!
Li Shimin's mood was very unhappy, and he was also not interested in the last dynasty, and he felt tired.
But this waiter is really stupid, and he still says that the sky is auspicious.
"Your Majesty spares your life. "The chamberlain is still prostrating.
",,. Li Shimin waved his hand. The chamberlain crawled out with a roll.
Outside, the morning bell rang, and he walked out slowly, and gave the order to the waiters who were waiting outside.
Above the court, hundreds of civil and military officials have long been waiting in the main hall. Li Shimin sat down, and after the civil and military officials made a routine salute and bowed, he saw that Qin Shubao, who had been ill for a long time, had actually gone to the court, and he seemed to be in good spirits.
"General Qin's health has improved greatly?" he asked first.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister's health has improved, but after all, he is old and still unable to do it. rode from the General's Mansion to the gate of the palace, and he couldn't stop breathing. Qin Shubao replied.
"Then Aiqing is recuperating at home. Zuotun Guard, your lieutenant has done a good job. Li Shimin said loudly. But he muttered to himself in his heart: Isn't this Qin Shubao also going to get involved in the impeachment of Ke'er?
"Back to Your Majesty, today's minister dragged his sick body to the court, in fact, there is something important to tell His Majesty. Qin Shubao stepped forward.
"Oh, I don't know what the big deal is, so that the general who is sick in bed can't bear it. Li Shimin said with a smile, but he slandered in his heart: Sure enough, he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this time he was looking for something.
"Back to Your Majesty, the first thing I did when I came here today was that the minister's injury and illness worsened, and I am afraid that I will have to live up to Your Majesty's grace and the entrustment of the people of the world. Therefore, the first thing I did when I came here today was to ask His Majesty for permission to hang up his boots and go into hiding. Qin Shubao said as he handed over the talisman of the Zuotun Guard, and presented the seals and official uniforms awarded by the imperial court one by one.
Li Shimin frowned and did not speak for a long time. He intuitively felt that the second thing was the big thing, so he didn't agree to his resignation first, and asked directly: "What about the other thing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the General's Mansion caught a spy who stole the "Formation Map" last night. The details are all written in this recital. Qin Shubao said, taking out the music from his sleeve.
