118 118: The Death of the Old Man (4)
But things have come to this point, it's all nonsense to be sorry, sorry, my mother can't stop the car, and even if she regrets it now, she can't change what her mother is going to do.
If she wanted to stop her mother, she should have started to stop it vigorously when her father was still healthy. And now, my mother is ready for everything, and she only owes the east wind.
The only thing that can be done is probably to do something to save the lives of the Li clan. But what the hell is this...... What should I do? It's really been in vain for more than ten years, but what can she do, her mother sees everything in the palace before she surrenders, and now she has a mansion outside the palace, and her father has allocated a group of people to her, so there is some space. In just a few months, there was no time to do anything.
Thankfully, it's still too late. Not really...... Li Chen thought of the handwriting he copied, but this must have a token from his father.
Li Chen pulled his thoughts back, looked at the Taiping in front of him, and asked, "Has Sister entered the palace to see her father?" ”
Taiping shook his head and said softly, "Mother said that my father needs to recuperate. ”
Hearing this, Li Chen dragged the big pillow behind him to the front, rested his chin on his head, and suddenly asked Taiping: "Sister, are you afraid?" ”
When Taiping heard this, he rubbed her hair as if she was comforting her sister when she was a child, "Why be afraid? "Even if the second brother is now deposed as a concubine, there are still three brothers and four brothers, no matter which brother finally sits in the position of the Son of Heaven, she and Yongchang are still the eldest princess. No matter how ruthless the mother's methods are, it is their mother after all, as long as they don't go against their mother, what are they afraid of?
Li Chen didn't say anything, Sister Ah didn't know to be afraid, that was because she knew what kind of deviant road her mother would take in the future.
The next day, Princess Taiping and Princess Yongchang entered the palace together to greet the saint and His Royal Highness the Queen.
Li Chen stood in front of his mother, looking respectful, his mouth was still slightly pursed, and there seemed to be grievances on his face.
Wu Zetian abolished the crown prince, and burned hundreds of sets of armor from the stable of the East Palace in public to show that her so-called abolished prince was selfless. Now that the prince is also abolished, and the armor is burned, several prime ministers who originally supported the prince were played by her this time, and they all pulled off the horse, I really think it couldn't be better. Therefore, when looking at the little daughter's bulging face like a bun, I was also in the mood to talk to her with a pleasant face.
"Yongchang, what's wrong?"
Li Chen glanced at his mother aggrievedly, "Yongchang has surrendered, and my mother will no longer love me, and will lock me up in the princess's mansion for a whole month, can't you let me out a few days in advance?" After a pause, she added: "I will also miss my father and mother, even if Yongchang ran into the palace in spite of the ban that night, it was because he was worried about his mother and father!" ”
When Wu Zetian heard this, he glanced at her with a smile, she never thought that this little daughter would threaten her, but she ...... She takes the feelings of her brothers and sisters in the family too seriously, and when each brother and sister has something, she wants to take care of everything so much. Wu Zetian grounded Li Chen, just because he didn't want this little daughter to be willful and reckless, and he didn't intend to do bad things to add blockage to her heart.
Now that the matter of the crown prince Li Xian is about to be settled, Wu Zetian's doting on his daughter has naturally come up again.
"It's just a month of confinement, and you're still coquettish with your mother? How old are you, little princess. The queen's voice was helpless and a little doting.
Li Chen was straightforward, "Even if I have gray hair, I am still my mother's daughter, why can't I be coquettish with my mother?" I can't be coquettish with my mother, who am I coquettish with? "It's very reasonable, but there is a strange mood in my heart uncontrollably, and now even if I am close to my mother, it is a deliberate act.
Wu Zetian was choked by her, and waved his hand with a smile, "I know that you also miss your father, your father is now in Hanliang Palace, you can go." ”
Seeing this, Li Chen smiled, "Then I'll go see my father." ”
When Li Chen went to Hanliang Palace, Li Zhi was sitting on a chair, his head was full of silver needles, making this head look like a hedgehog head, and the imperial doctor was guarding beside him.
This scene surprised Li Chen very much, and blurted out: "Father! ”
Li Zhi, whose head was pierced by a pair of silver needles, raised his eyebrows when he heard Li Chen's voice, "Yongchang? ”
Li Chen walked over and found that her father, who had always had a very good-looking smile, had turned into a paralyzed face at this time, and she was stunned.
The imperial doctor on the side hurriedly said: "Don't worry, princess, the saint has been acupuncture several times, this is to help him relieve his wind and headache, and probably also give the saint hope to see again." When the silver needle is removed, the saint will not look like this. The silver needle was pierced, restricting Li Zhi's facial expression, and he could only be paralyzed.
Li Chen looked at his father's paralyzed face, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his father's eyes, "Can Aya see anything?" ”
Li Zhi: "A little shadow. ”
When Li Chen heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, and waited quietly beside him.
When the imperial doctor removed the silver needle, Li Chen helped his father out for a walk. Li Zhi has been a blind man for a month, and now he knows where to go out and where to turn and where to turn, and he doesn't look like a blind man at all.
He asked Li Chen as he walked, "I've been locked up in the princess's mansion for a whole month, have you reflected on it?" ”
Li Chen muttered in his heart, what is there to reflect. I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it on my lips, the wall had ears, and someone quietly complained to her mother when she turned around, and she couldn't finish eating and walked around.
So Li Chen said insincerely: "After introspection, I will definitely not do it again in the future." ”
The emperor smiled and sighed, and said, "Yongchang, be calm, be calm." ”
No one knows his queen better than him, speaking of which, Wu Zetian's ability to get to where he is today is related to her character and talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also cultivated by Li Zhi.
For several children, at the beginning, the emperor's full efforts were poured into the eldest son Li Hong, Li Hong really did not disappoint him, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, handle it properly, the court, even the envoys who came to worship from afar, praised Li Hong.
If the eldest son dies suddenly, then change the second son.
Li Xian and Li Hong are two types of people, Li Hong is stable and dignified, a humble gentleman, Li Xian is quick to think and knows how to be flexible, but in the end, he comes from behind, and his performance in the face of major events is far inferior to that of the eldest son.
Now the two emperors are more satisfied with their sons, one is dead, and the other is deposed. There are two left, one is a cockfighting lackey who lives absurdly, and the other is weak and shrinks when he encounters trouble.
Li Zhi was also worried in his heart, even if he was young and orderly, he was not worried about which of the two sons would be the prince.
Li Zhi felt that he had become a sick man over the years, he used to be a sick man who had unbearable headaches at every turn, and now he was a sick and blind man who had unbearable headaches at every turn.
And it's really hard to say which is better, the sick seedling or the sick blind.
However, after his eyes were blind, there were probably no things that were gradually getting into the charming eyes, in short, Li Zhi felt that he seemed to see something clearly in his heart now.
Li Xian and Li Dan, no matter which one becomes the crown prince, or even becomes the emperor in the future, as long as Wu Zetian is not satisfied with them, there are means to make them step down, so that the power in Wu Zetian's hands is too great. Li Zhi frowned slightly, the imperial doctor told him to recuperate every day, but there are so many things in the Tang Dynasty, which one can let him recuperate?
Thinking of this, Li Zhi remembered something, and he said to Li Chen: "Your mother wants to move your second brother to Bazhou. ”
Li Chen's footsteps paused slightly, then smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Li Zhi was silent, and walked forward slowly with his feelings, and Li Chen didn't support him, just looked at his father like this. Her father seemed to know the road very well, but she understood that her father didn't want to become a useless person and not rely on others for everything.
Li Chen quickened his pace and followed.
Li Zhi noticed that she was following, smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Do you really think this is good?" ”
Li Chen nodded slightly, and then remembered that her father couldn't see it now, so she said "um", and then, she took her father's hand with one hand, spread out her father's palm, and wrote a few words on it.
"It's better than being in Chang'an."
When Li Zhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it." ”
Things have come to this time, there is no need to pretend to be confused, Li Chen wrote in the palm of his father's palm: "There are all kinds of disputes in Chang'an, if the second brother stays in Chang'an, I am afraid that he will be used by some people with intentions, and his life is in danger." Although the second brother has been deposed as a concubine, it is also a hidden danger of threat, and it is best for him to stay away from Chang'an and strife. ”
Faced with his daughter's words, Li Zhi was not too surprised, royal children, none of them is simple. But Li Zhi was so frank with his daughter, but he was touched in his heart. In the end, she is on her father's side and thinks about Li and her father.
He does not criticize any of his children, and no matter what they do, they are forgivable. Only this little daughter, he has always loved and indulged the most.
She has never disappointed her father. Well, except for the choice of the colt, he was disappointed, and everything else couldn't have been better.
Li Zhi smiled and sighed: "When your second brother went to Bazhou, my father probably couldn't send him." ”
When Li Chen heard this, he smiled slightly, and said to his father: "Aye, don't worry, Yongchang will send him." Even if he is a commoner now, he is still my second brother. ”
Blood is thicker than water, how can it be said that there is really no emotion?
No matter how dissatisfied the mother was with the second brother, she would not stop them from seeing them off. The crown prince was deposed as a concubine, but several princesses and princes are still affectionate and go to see them off, doesn't it seem that Her Royal Highness the Queen has taught well? This can also win her a good name, and of course her mother will not stop her. (m.)
