"Hehe, the national teacher has the most ideas, and it's good to think about it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Shimin said.

"The palace has been very dull recently, and the princes, princesses, and concubines of the Houcourt have not seen Your Majesty for many days, so it is better to gather together today and hold a banquet." Yuan Ziyan added: "As for singing and dancing, these are not difficult to arrange, of course, you can also play on the spot." ”

Everyone thought it was a good idea, but in fact, Yuan Ziyan did this for two reasons.

First of all, the imperial doctor said that Li Shimin's chest was depressed, and it was best to laugh heartily even if it was a hearty cry, otherwise the qi and blood would not be smooth, and his body would deteriorate, and there would be a possibility of sudden death at any time.

The second point is that I don't dare to delay it, people's life span is limited, and Yuan Ziyan also wants to take this opportunity to let Li Shimin take a look at all his wives and children again, and he will not leave too many regrets in the future.

Although it was a temporary decision, the palace has often held various celebrations for foreign envoys and a large royal family over the years, and it is very experienced in holding large-scale banquets. At dinner, the lights were bright, the concubines, the young princes and princesses, and the adult princesses in Chang'an were invited into the palace, and the ministers were naturally all present, crowded with people, jubilant, and more like the New Year.

Due to Li Shimin's poor health, the people in the palace did not dare to take a breath, not to mention that it was such a lively event, so everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts, all of them were full of red light, and they infected each other with a warm atmosphere.

Li Shimin was also in high spirits when he saw such a scene, and greeted the people who came to greet him with a smile, but he didn't talk much, and his voice was not as bright as before.

The next choreographed dance songs and other items are all performed by Datang professionals. Naturally, it is sunny spring and white snow, which is very elegant. But regrettably, Li Shimin is used to this. I actually heard half of it and began to feel a little drowsy.

The emperor's interest was not high, and everyone was not noisy, seeing that the banquet was about to end early, and Li Shimin still did not vent his depressed emotions.

Although Princess Gaoyang received the invitation letter, she was angry with her father and resolutely refused to come, which also affected Li Shimin's mood to some extent. Getting more and more depressed.

"Probably the most crowded party today, right?" Yuan Ziyan walked to the center with a smile and asked, everyone laughed, and some said yes. Some say no, depending on which point of view.

"Since they are not outsiders, then I will sacrifice my ugliness once and dedicate a song to Your Majesty. How is it? Yuan Ziyan asked again. Naturally, it won bursts of applause. As mentioned earlier, Yuan Ziyan's voice is special, a bit like Queen Dugu of the previous dynasty, mellow and heavy, and majestic.

I have long heard that the original national teacher sang a song that held the emperor's heart, which is just a legend for many people. Few people can hear it with their own ears.

Li Shimin was also interested, and said with a smile: "I haven't heard the national teacher sing for a long time. Don't miss out. ”

"It's not exciting, as long as everyone doesn't laugh at me." Yuan Ziyan cleared his throat and sang the song "Borrow from the Sky for Another 500 Years" in the future era,

"Along the ups and downs of the gentle curve of the rivers and mountains, the northern country and the south of the Yangtze River that the horses love are ...... in the Central Plains"

As soon as the melodious melody came out, most of the people present were connoisseurs, and they were immediately attracted by this strange sound, and they all held their breath, and the hall was quiet, only Yuan Ziyan's singing voice was flying.

"Watching the iron hooves trampling across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I stood on the cusp of the wind and held the sun and moon spinning. May the world be peaceful and happy, and I really want to live for another 500 years! ”

Li Shimin was so excited that he stood up suddenly, and listened to Yuan Ziyan's singing with wide eyes motionless, but his expression was very excited, and his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was already turbulent inside.

For the emperor, such a song is a cry from the heart, a weak struggle, a luxury of not giving up, and a naked pain after calming down.

After the song, the scene was stunned for half a minute, Li Shimin shouted loudly, and everyone applauded one after another, and Yuan Ziyan's eyes passed through everyone's blazing pursuit and gathered with Li Shimin. Seeing that the eyes that were no longer bright were full of tears, but he tried his best to hold back, the emperor who was high above could not show his vulnerability in public.

After that, the palace was relocated, and this kind of scene was indeed somewhat familiar, when Yang Guang moved around, it was roughly the same as this.

Li Shimin is in the Hanfeng Hall of Cuiwei Palace, and the interior layout is also the same as before, so as not to have any discomfort, and the result is the same, Li Shimin has a smooth transition without any adverse reactions.

Yuan Ziyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that moving to this place was the right choice. Li Zhi almost completely took over the government, and even if Li Shimin wanted to review some of the folds himself, he refused to do so, and took them all away.

However, Li Zhi's enthusiasm is not to fight for power, but to want his father to rest more, because every day Li Zhi will report to his father about the major events in the court, and he will ask him if he has an unsure idea.

In the end, Li Shimin arranged that if Li Zhi didn't understand, he could consult the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

"Zhi'er often asks his uncle, and his uncle answers very detailed every time." Li Zhi hurriedly said.

Li Shimin nodded, beckoned to Li Zhi again, let him sit in front of him, and said meaningfully: "Zhi'er, although the eldest grandson Wuji is your uncle, but first of all, you must remember that he is also your courtier. ”

Li Zhi showed a blank expression, and Li Shimin sighed: "As an emperor, this is also involuntarily. Too much favor to the courtiers, even if they themselves are not arrogant, but there is no lack of flattery and villain compliments, and over time, relatives are in charge, and the beginning of turmoil in the court. ”

"Uncle is the first of the twenty-four heroes."

"Zhi'er, you still haven't understood what your father meant." Yuan Ziyan patted Li Zhi's shoulder with a smile and said, "The twenty-four heroes are actually not ranked, and of course, the priority position does represent some problems. Your uncle is not the first to help your father conquer the country, but he has made great contributions to defending the country with your father. As an emperor, we must distinguish between merit and demerit, look at problems objectively and fairly, and do not be biased. ”

Li Zhi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, remembered some tricky questions, and asked tentatively: "Auntie, can you also help Zhi'er to take care of the government like he helped his father?" ”

"Hehe, aunt, I've been busy for half my life, and I'm actually very tired, so I'm just accompanying your father. As for Jiangshan Sheji, it's all up to you. Yuan Ziyan waved his hand.

"But auntie, the court can't do without you, and Zhi'er can't do without you." Li Zhi looked at Yuan Ziyan pleadingly, then at Li Shimin, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Is my aunt afraid of the criticism of the people in the court?" ”

"Who wouldn't be afraid?" Yuan Ziyan shook his head slightly and said: "But in this world, you have to give up, look at what is the most important thing for you at the moment." My merits and demerits will not be evaluated by future generations, and you, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are stared at by historians and the people. ”

"Auntie's high wind and bright festival make Zhi'er admire." Li Zhi said a little unwillingly, listening to Yuan Ziyan's meaning, it has the meaning of retreating.

"Ziyan, Zhi'er is still young, and he really needs help." Li Shimin thought about it and said.

"Aren't there still the eldest grandsons, Wuji, and them?" Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

"I thought you were at odds with him."

"I really hate him, but the eldest grandson Wuji is loyal to Datang, which is understandable."

"Ziyan, after I die, how should you settle down?" Li Shimin asked suddenly, Yuan Ziyan immediately frowned, and said, "You are not allowed to say such things." ”

"Well, sooner or later. I also want to settle you so that I can leave with confidence. Li Shimin ignored his son's presence and said worriedly, because the power of the DPRK and China has fallen into the hands of the eldest grandson, Yuan Ziyan and the female stream have escaped from their own protection, who knows how long it will last.

"I'll keep you at the grave." Yuan Ziyan took Li Shimin's hand and said with a smile, Li Shimin was very surprised, his heart was warm, but he didn't say anything.

Many courtiers also felt that Yuan Ziyan would withdraw from the political stage, and then fade out of people's sight and live a reclusive life. Imagine a woman, helpless, if the emperor is gone, what else can she do?

Yuan Ziyan turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, just blindly took care of Li Shimin, the two people who put down their busy official duties, only talked about poetry, calligraphy and painting, interesting things in the past, and lived a simple and happy life, and they all gained weight to varying degrees.

On this day, the eunuch came to report that Concubine Yang Shu's mother was in bad health. Li Shimin was unwilling to face these life and death again, so he asked Yuan Ziyan to do it for him, and said that he was not in good health, and he would go to see her when he was better.

Yuan Ziyan understood Li Shimin's mood, and rushed to Yang Shufei's residence that day, Yang Shufei on the sickbed looked a little similar to the previous Queen Xiao, although the mother and daughter were not related by blood, but the bearing of the ears and eyes still infected her daughter to some extent.

Hearing the movement, Concubine Yang Shufei immediately looked towards the door, her eyes were full of expectation, but she didn't wait for her husband, but Yuan Ziyan, who was inevitably disappointed.

"Concubine Shu, you also know Your Majesty's physical condition, please understand." Yuan Ziyan said.

Concubine Yang Shufei nodded gloomily, looked up at Yuan Ziyan's bright face, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, all the women in the palace are old, and many sisters are no longer there, why does Shangcang cherish her sister alone and let her sister have an ageless face?" ”

"A person's gains and losses are not judged by their appearance. Although I am not old, I have been lonely all my life, not like my sister, married to a wishful husband, and has a successful son. Yuan Ziyan smiled and comforted.

"My sister is too modest, if I can exchange, I would rather be like my sister, without worry. It's a pity that my body is not good in the first place, and I have lived in fear and endless thoughts all these years, but I am afraid that His Majesty will leave first. Yang Shufei was expressionless, and she seemed to have seen through the ending a long time ago. (To be continued......)
