Chapter 442: A Loving Father
The two sat for a long time without talking, like friends for many years, who had become close relatives, and they didn't need to say much to know each other's hearts.
"Hey, I have loved Gao Yang for so many years, and she hates me so much for a monk." Finally, Li Shimin spoke slowly, and of course he was referring to his daughter.
"It's all Gao Yang who is ignorant, but I also think you are too ruthless in handling the debate." Yuan Ziyan raised his eyes and asked.
Regardless of whether the debate was wronged or not, he knew that he couldn't do it, but he smeared the royal princess and deserved to be killed. Horizontal and vertical is death, and the punishment is not important. Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
Yuan Ziyan didn't ask any more questions, the death of the debate machine was very deterrent, that is to say, no matter how prosperous the religious culture is and how many believers there are, it is the emperor who really controls the world.
"Ziyan, what do you think of Zhi'er, can he take on the responsibility of a country?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.
"Believe me, Zhi'er will be a good emperor, and he is also a blessed good boy." Yuan Ziyan said softly.
In fact, because of the existence of Wu Zetian in history, Li Zhi was always written as a weak monarch intentionally or unintentionally, but the fact is that the territory of the Tang Dynasty was the largest in the era of Li Zhi's reign.
If you want to say that there are human factors in political achievements, then the life span is the will of heaven, Li Zhi reigned for thirty-four years, which is considered a medium and high level among the ancient emperors, and it also directly caused Wu Zetian to ascend the throne when he was in his sixties.
For Yuan Ziyan's words, Li Shimin was very relieved, and finally stopped doubting this son, he was martial all his life and opened up the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. And his son Li Zhi is kind and kind, and he will definitely educate the world and serve the people with virtue.
Yuan Ziyan hesitated for a long time. said: "Shimin, I heard that Master Fang is sick, it seems that it is still very serious?" ”
"Hey!" Li Shimin let out a long sigh, pressed his hands on his knees, and said in frustration: "I have heard about it, and I want to go to see him, but I don't know how to face Gao Yang." If the father and daughter clash again. Isn't it a lifelong regret? ”
"Shimin, what's wrong with you, you keep saying these unlucky things." Yuan Ziyan said angrily. The circles under my eyes couldn't help but turn red, and my heart was full of mixed tastes, which was very unpleasant.
"That's it, don't let down your loyal ministers for the sake of Gao Yang. Purple smoke. How about going to see Fang Xuanling with me tomorrow? ”
"Okay."
It's not early. Li Shimin got up to go back, maybe he sat for too long, his body was weak, and when he got up, he was dizzy and almost wanted to fall. Yuan Ziyan's eyes were quick, and he instantly moved to the front, supporting him with his body, Li Shimin smiled slightly. also looked down on this a lot, and slowly returned to the dormitory with the support of Yuan Ziyan.
The eunuch who followed behind him first broke out in a cold sweat. Then he secretly wiped his tears in the dark, not knowing whether to worry about the emperor or his future fate.
Wu Mei heard the conversation from the back room, but felt a little lucky, maybe now she can understand her aunt's painstaking efforts. The emperor seems to be brave and good at fighting when he was young, but judging from the current situation, he does not look like a long-lived person, but Li Zhi is worthy of trust.
Wu Mei didn't have much affection for Li Shimin, and naturally she wouldn't be too sad for him, but she just imagined that after the emperor died, she would be able to marry Li Zhi, and no matter how bad it was, she would be placed outside the palace by him, living without worrying about food and clothing. This is just the idea that Wu Mei can live on, she would never have imagined that what awaits her will be earth-shattering waves, rolling in.
Yuan Ziyan held the night pearl in his hand, leading the way for Li Shimin personally, Li Shimin was quiet and down-to-earth, after going back, after freshening up, he fell asleep directly after using the medicine, calm like a child.
Maybe the "Heart Sutra" has played a role, Li Shimin is not as persistent and frightened as before about life and death, and he has not asked Li Chunfeng to urge any elixir of immortality recently.
Yuan Ziyan has been sitting next to Li Shimin, and unconsciously, it has been more than 30 years since she came to the Tang Dynasty, although her voice and smile have not changed, does this mean that her heart has never changed?
Hey, the years of life in the Tang Dynasty are more than the age before the time travel, I don't know if my parents are still there, or is it that the long decades are just a point in time for the future, and after crossing back, it will still be the same as before?
If his parents and the people around him can't feel the changes in Yuan Ziyan, does he feel like an old soul burrowing into a young body?
It's complicated.
Yuan Ziyan shook her head slightly, now her escape technique has been practiced to the point of perfection, and she has tried many times, but the best result is to play a stealth role beyond the range of human vision, and there are no other abnormalities.
Li Shimin was already snoring slightly, Yuan Ziyan tucked the quilt for him and retreated lightly. Looking up, a bright moon shines in the sky, the stars shine brightly, and the scenery is so beautiful.
I don't know why, Yuan Ziyan always feels that he has less sleep now, sometimes he can recover his strength by taking a nap, and he just sleeps at night, and he can be full of energy the next day.
For this reason, Yuan Ziyan also found an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, but did not find anything abnormal, and then Yuan Ziyan went to Li Chunfeng, and Li Chunfeng did not find anything wrong, but persuaded her to use this time to meditate and recuperate her mind.
There is a lot of time, if you don't make full use of it, you will feel very difficult, Yuan Ziyan usually reads books and meditates, and then takes care of Li Shimin's work, and his life is more fulfilling.
The next day, after Li Shimin's early dynasty, he and Yuan Ziyan went to visit Fang Xuanling in person.
Because Fang Xuanling was very ill, Li Shimin did not notify him in advance, and when he arrived at the house, Fang Zhizhi hurriedly came to pick up the car on behalf of his father. Fang Yuzhi's eyes were sunken, and he described him as haggard, as if he had not yet come out of the pain of losing his wife, and his father fell ill again.
In this kind of big family, the father is the backbone of the family, the brothers are already like fire and water, and there is a vague sense of foreboding that after the father's backer falls, the family will soon be scattered.
"Did the princess and the colt go out?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Zhizhi with some disappointment.
"Your Majesty, the two of them haven't left the house, so they must have gotten up yet." Fang Yizhi said in a tone of great dissatisfaction.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and his face showed a gloomy color, his father-in-law was seriously ill, and Gao Yang could still sleep lazy every day. The daughter-in-law is just that, and the love of the house is not a thing, so I don't know how to serve my father? One wrong step, one wrong step, I really shouldn't have married my daughter to Fang Yiai, if you can marry Fang Yizhi, you will definitely avoid these turmoil.
Creation makes people, creation makes people!
"Your Majesty, we'll talk about the rest later, let's go see Lord Fang first, right?" Yuan Ziyan reminded.
Li Shimin nodded with a gloomy face, and then ordered: "Let the horses come quickly!" ”
Walking into the house, I saw Fang Xuanling, who was struggling to get up and change clothes, and when he saw Li Shimin coming in, he hurriedly saluted on the bed: "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, I lose my dignity, and I hope Your Majesty will atone for your sins." ”
Li Shimin put his displeasure behind him for the time being, and said with a smile: "It is said that Fang Aiqing is a beautiful man in the Tang Dynasty, and he compares me to the capital, it is rare to see Aiqing so embarrassed, I feel happy!" ”
Everyone laughed when they said a word, they should move the stool and move the stool, and the tea should be served, Fang Xuanling sighed and looked at Li Shimin, and said with tears: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight." ”
"Aiqing is sick, I lack helpers, so I am naturally more tired than usual." Li Shimin smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, if you can let the prince experience, then hand over the court affairs to the prince." Fang Xuanling thought about it and said suddenly, with a sincere expression.
They are all old friends for many years, Fang Xuanling is in this state again, and what he said is from the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Aiqing wants me to be the crown prince and the emperor?" ”
"Death to the minister! It's just that I can't bear to see Your Majesty so tired, you should really recuperate, don't be like a minister, when you fall, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up again. Fang Xuanling kept crying, and Yuan Ziyan stepped forward to wipe it for him.
"Master Fang, you understand your thoughts. It's just that everyone's fatigue is not in the court, but on family affairs. His Majesty is also a father, of course, he loves the crown prince, and he is not reluctant to take the throne. It's just that His Majesty was afraid that the crown prince would fall into the name of immorality, so he only insisted. Yuan Ziyan said.
"It's still Ziyan who understands my thoughts. One life is inescapable of death, and my body had a huge deficit in the early years, and it didn't matter where I retreated. Why bother to let the future generations bear the infamy for a few days of comfort? Li Shimin sighed.
"Your Majesty, benevolent and loving father, I hope everyone in the world can understand." Fang Xuanling was very moved.
As he was talking, Fang Yiai hurried over, bowed in a panic, and even Fang Xuanling turned his head aside when he saw it.
"Bereavement knocks on my father, long live my father, long live my father!"
"Get up and speak." Li Shimin said coldly, and asked again: "Why didn't Gao Yang come with you?" ”
In fact, Gao Yang was very happy when he learned that his father was coming, but he couldn't wipe his face, so he was coquettish and willful, saying that he was sick and hoped that his father would take the initiative to come to see her.
However, Fang Yiai cherished the current situation of possessing Gao Yang alone, and did not want her to share her feelings with anyone, so she said lightly: "Father Qiqi, the princess is ill by chance, she has just taken a decoction and has fallen asleep. ”
Li Shimin's face was full of displeasure, his fists were clenched, and Fang Xuanling was speechless, this princess was so willful, she didn't know that her father was coming, and she was lawless!
Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, pretending to be nothing, but in fact, he was nodding the love of the house, don't worry about this title, you two have to be the one who left the house.
"Aiqing, in fact, you and I are also lucky, when a hundred years later, I have Zhi'er to take over the world, don't you also have a legacy. I see that the legacy's righteousness is good, calm and capable, and worthy of the heavy responsibility, I will definitely explain the governance and reuse the legacy. Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling with a smile. (To be continued......)
