Facing the second brother, Li Chen didn't know what to say.

Words are sometimes very pale and weak, and advice is against the ear, and everything that seems to be bad seems to be bad. If she and Li Xian had changed places, they might not have been able to do better than him. If the mother is so easy to deal with, how can she become the only empress in history?

Success or failure is conclusive, why bother with the past?

Throughout the ages, the emperors of all dynasties are not the same, and the princes who have been abolished are also different, some people are the talents of governing the country and the country, and some people are the head of the country and the people, and today's Li Xian is not a person who has brought disaster to the country and the people in any way.

The sudden death of the eldest brother is irreversible, and if the second brother has any disaster in the future, she will protect him for her father no matter what.

Li Chen, who was full of worries, absentmindedly said a few painless words to his second brother Li Xian, and went back to Fengyang Pavilion. My father said that she would come out at the beginning of spring next year at the latest, and now that it was spring, she would have a year at most. Mother went to Ganye Temple to chant scriptures and worship Buddha, this year I don't know what's going on, first the Beijing earthquake, then Henan, Hebei drought, and now the eastern capital Luoyang is in the famine, I heard that the border is also about to move recently.

In this situation of external and internal troubles, she really shouldn't cause trouble for her father anymore.

But if she didn't fight for her marriage, she was unwilling anyway, so she had to be willful.

Only then did he enter Fengyang Pavilion, and chickens and dogs were jumping in Fengyang Pavilion.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw it, it was the gray parrot making trouble, and the palace maids in Fengyang Pavilion were all chasing it, and the demon beast was flying back and screaming, "Dead!" Dead man! ”

Li Chen: "......"

Shu Zhi, who had been by Li Chen's side, frowned slightly when she saw this, and caught the gray parrot three or two times and put it in a cage.

The parrot, which had not been in a cage for 800 years, was very aggrieved and buried its head in its wings. Li Chen couldn't help but laugh when she saw the gray parrot's cowardice, and remembered that Li Xian, the right talent, mentioned Li Jingye to her.

Whether it is Li Jingye or Li Xian, it is destined to give her a headache. Sometimes Li Chen can't figure it out, if his mother wants to be the empress, then he should be good, why do he have to think so much, he has to protect this and that?

What's wrong with An An being a stupid princess?

She grew up in the palm of her hand by her family since she was a child, and her parents and brothers and sisters doted on her very much, especially her father, who was almost obedient to her, he advocated frugality, and he was really thrifty, but he was afraid that he would not give enough to her. She has the tea garden that everyone in the Tang Dynasty envies, she was addicted to practicing calligraphy when she was young, and her father took the time to accompany her to learn calligraphy, and later became addicted to the guqin, and her father gave her the guqin he cherished...... Whether it is her father or brother and sister, they are very good to her. Her mother is also very good to her, but her mother chases power in her bones, and she is destined to oppose her father's family in the end, even ignoring her children.

Li Chen thought, she didn't want to flaunt something.

She can't fight her mother, but her father's brothers and sisters have been good to her over the years, and she knows what will happen to her brothers and sisters in the future, how dare she retreat? Although his qualifications are limited, he can't be as thunderous and decisive as his mother, but he also wants to do his best to do something for his father, brothers and sisters, so that he can be worthy of himself in the future.

Li Chen didn't indulge in negative emotions for too long, and after a while, she pondered how to make her father willing to let her choose Song Jing as a concubine.

Song Jing is a person, she has to fight for it no matter what.

She came back to her senses and asked Shu Zhi: "Shu Zhi, do you think I want to recruit Song Jing as a concubine, how can I convince my father?" ”

Shu Zhi said implicitly: "I think that as long as it is a horse hand-picked by the princess herself, the saint probably won't like it." ”

Li Chen was stunned.

Shu Zhi reminded with a smile, "The princess has forgotten, when Her Royal Highness the Queen asked you why you didn't want to surrender, you told Her Royal Highness that because those people are not as good as your father in any place, they are not good enough, don't you like it?" ”

Li Chen: "......"

She tasted the taste of lifting a stone and hitting herself in the foot, and she couldn't tell if she was bitter.

Li Zhi hung Li Chen for a few days, recently Tubo invaded, the border was very unstable, Li Zhi directly asked people to recruit warriors in the Guannei, ready to go to the crusade against Tubo. When Li Chen heard about this, he was worried.

Mother went to Ganye Temple, and now there is no one to share with my father, and the second brother can participate in politics, but after all, he was defeated at a young age. In addition to vision, there is also a very important aspect of national affairs, that is, experience.

Seeing alone is sometimes tantamount to working behind closed doors.

Li Zhi rubbed his forehead, it was really a family affair, a national affair, a world affair, and everything was worried. At this time, two court officials happened to order to cut down the cypress tree of Taizong Zhaoling by mistake. Li Zhi heard that the people below came to report, and the stuffiness held in his chest was really nowhere to vent, and his head was still throbbing, and at this time, he heard the mistake of the minister of the DPRK and the central government cutting down the cypress tree, and he was immediately furious.

"Zhaoling cypress tree, can they cut it down casually? They cut down the cypress tree of Taizong's Zhaoling, which is to make me an unfilial son, and the sin deserves death! ”

Fortunately, at this time, Di Renjie, whose official position was already the imperial history of the imperial history platform, came to advise, saying that whether the two deserved to die or not was measured by their own laws, and the sage had always advocated strict law enforcement and rule the country according to law. If a saint puts to death a person whose sin does not lead to death in a fit of rage, what will future generations say about him?

Li Zhi thought about it, and this is also the truth. He was angry and irrational, but fortunately, Di Renjie admonished him, so that he would not kill the minister by mistake.

"Fortunately, with Di Aiqing, I won't be confused for a while."

Li Zhi has been really anxious in recent days, and the people who serve him are trembling, for fear of upsetting the saint. And Princess Yongchang, who used to be very good at coaxing the saint to be happy, has not come over for the past few days since she was reprimanded by the saint last time. Li Zhi held his breath in his chest, and he was really sad, Di Renjie was a person who advanced and retreated with a degree of righteousness, Li Zhi had always admired him very much, so he simply left Di Renjie behind on this day and accompanied him to play chess and drink.

Di Renjie sat opposite Li Zhi with a very respectful attitude, and said: "The saint has always loved talents, and the mistakes made by the two adults are really unintentional, and the sin will not lead to death. The saint is a person of the most affectionate and filial piety, and it is reasonable to hear that the cypress tree of Taizong's Zhaoling was cut down, and his heart is angry. But if you kill the minister by mistake in anger, the saint will be very sad when he thinks about it in the future. ”

Li Zhi smiled and walked down the steps handed over by Di Renjie, "In short, Di Aiqing has contributed a lot to this matter." ”

Di Renjie arched his hand, "The minister is terrified." ”

"Don't be afraid, I still have something I want to discuss with Di Aiqing."

Di Renjie was stunned.

Li Zhi said: "Speaking of which, it is my family matter. ”

When Di Renjie heard this, he suddenly landed, "Does the family matter mentioned by the sage refer to the surrender of Princess Yongchang?" ”

In fact, as an emperor, I can't say a word about this is my family matter, so why do outsiders need to take care of it? Of course, in the past, Li Zhi used an exception to this trick when he abolished Wang Liwu, because there were important ministers of the two dynasties like Li Ji, who thought that it was an emperor's family affair and did not need to ask the courtiers. And at that time, Li Zhi's imperial power was restrained by several ministers and nobles, and it was urgent to regain the imperial power from several ministers. Very time, very means.

But now it's different, now it's the emperor's daughter who wants to surrender.

The little princess who is the favorite of the saint and Her Royal Highness the Empress is also held in the heart of the people of the entire empire. If the saint said that this is my family matter, and the kings have no right to intervene, it will chill the hearts of the ministers and the people.

Li Zhi rubbed his temples, looked a little tired, and very tactfully told Di Renjie about the so-called mate selection remarks of the little princess Yongchang that she should choose a mate with the ability to choose a horse.

Di Renjie also raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said with some difficulty: "The princess is worthy of being the daughter of a saint and Her Royal Highness the Queen, and her views are very unique. ”

Li Zhi: "...... If Di Aiqing wants to say that she is messing around, it is okay. ”

Di Renjie smiled bitterly: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Li Zhi also doesn't seem to have the energy to beat around the bush with Di Renjie: "I heard the eldest princess of Linchuan say that there is a young man named Song Jing, who is very good at learning, although his background is not prominent, but many young talents in Chang'an City want to get acquainted with him, and Zhou Jitong, the little lang of the eldest princess of Linchuan's family, has a good friendship with the person named Song Jing." But young people, I am always worried that they are still inexperienced and do not know people clearly. ”

The emperor spoke, and his tone became unpleasant.

It was this young man of Song Jing who made his Princess Yongchang contradict his father, and his ability was not small. Li Zhi not only hoped that this Song Jing was really worthy of his name, but also hoped that this Song Jing was actually an embroidered pillow.

When Di Renjie heard this, he already understood Li Zhi's intentions, and immediately got up and said, "The minister will go to see this young man named Song Jing one day." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction.

Although Li Zhi asked Di Renjie to see what kind of person Song Jing was, she also pondered in her heart that after hanging Li Chen for a few days, she probably might have re-thought about the candidate for the concubine, and asked the people below to hint at Princess Yongchang, the sage has been talking about wanting to drink a few cups of good tea in the past two years, and the princess may not have gone to the Palace of Eternal Life to make tea for a long time.

When Li Chen heard this, he took Shu Zhi and others to the Palace of Eternal Life with tea sets to find his father.

When Li Chen hadn't gone to the Hall of Eternal Life yet, Li Zhi put down the music in his hand and walked around the house several times, thinking about what if he didn't control his anger well that day, how could Yongchang feel sad? He has never been willing to give her a little face, shouldn't he make her sad that day with a straight face, and don't come to the Hall of Eternal Life to make tea with his father?

After Li Zhi went back and forth twice, he finally heard the movement outside, and quickly sat down, playing with a brush in one hand and folding in the other.

Li Chen came in and shouted respectfully, "Aya, Yongchang is here." ”

He raised his eyes slowly, glanced at his daughter, and then bowed his head slightly unhurriedly, "Come here?" ”

Li Chen had a smile on his face, "Yesterday, Erlu Temple sent tea cakes from Buxian Garden, Yongchang tasted them, and thought they were very good, so he wanted to come and share the tea for Aya to taste." ”

"She's not a careful person," Li Zhi thought to himself, "and she still thinks about her father, and she shouldn't have been so fierce to her that day." ”

Li Zhi put down the things in his hand and went down the steps sent by his daughter.

Li Chen sat opposite her father with a slight smile on her face to divide the tea, although her tea distribution technique was not superb, but it was still smooth, and a set of actions was pleasing to the eye. While drinking tea, Li Zhi listened to his daughter talk about the interesting things of the past few days.

However, when Li Zhi asked her if she had thought of a candidate for the horse, Li Chen put down the tea set in his hand and looked at his father, "Aya, I still want to choose Song Jing as the horse." ”

The smile on Li Zhi's original face disappeared, and he frowned, "Why does it have to be him?" ”

Li Chen passively resisted and remained silent.

Li Zhi: "There are so many young men in Chang'an City, is it possible that no one is good?" Li Jingye, the eldest grandson of the British Gong Li Ji back then, can't he compare to this Song Jing? ”

Li Chen raised his eyes, looked at his father, and said stubbornly: "I only want Song Jing like that." ”

Li Zhi was stunned by his daughter's stubbornness, "What is the origin of Song Jing?" How many times have you met him? You actually disobeyed your father for him? ”

I want to quarrel for Song Jing again...... Shu Zhi, who was holding the tea set on the side, didn't dare to breathe.

Li Chen was not excited, but reasoned with his father very calmly: "Song Jing and Li Jingye have their own strengths, I just like Song Jing like this, what's wrong with him?" Like Li Jingye, he lost his father at a young age, Li Jingye was also taught by the British Duke Li Ji, but Song Jing even died early in his grandfather. He has been lonely since he was a child, but he has been kind-hearted and caring for others since he was a child, what is worse than Li Jingye? If he is missing anything, it is just a grandfather like the former British Duke Li Ji. ”

Li Zhi felt that the green tendons in the corners of her forehead were about to jump, and she actually learned to talk back to her father! ()
