"And you, Uncle Li, are also the arms you can rely on." Yuan Ziyan pointed at Li Tao again.

Li Tao was silent, this is obviously a gang, for Yuan Ziyan, who has always been cautious in doing things, it seems a little inappropriate to laugh openly like this.

Li Ke laughed twice, and then welcomed everyone to his mansion. There is no shortage of small buildings with two or three floors on the road, and near the official residence, there will be some large mansions, which are magnificent and imposing.

The contrast is Li Ke's mansion, the red paint on the door is peeling off, the handwriting on the plaque is a little blurred, the interior furnishings are extremely ordinary, and even the teacups served are notched.

Li Ke resigned left and right, invited Yuan Ziyan to take a seat, and several people drank tea and chatted.

"Hehe, Ke'er, you are not such a thrifty person in the palace, why are you so depressed when you arrive in Anzhou?" Yuan Ziyan took a sip of tea, aged tea, without any aroma.

"Those who are officials should be honest and honest, and they don't hide their mother-in-law, the DPRK and China have a lot of surveillance on me, so I have to do it as a last resort." Li Ke's tone was a little aggrieved and dissatisfied.

Yuan Ziyan smiled slightly, put down the teacup, suddenly turned cold, and asked, "It's because I spent all my savings to recruit soldiers and horses!" ”

Syllable! The teacup in Li Ke's hand fell to the ground, his face became very ugly, he squeezed out a smile, and asked in a cold sweat on his forehead: "Stepmother Mingjian, Ke'er has no such intentions." ”

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring. It's just a casual question, look at how scared you are, it's really disappointing to me. Yuan Ziyan casually threw over a handkerchief, the handkerchief was gentle, but it seemed to have eyes, and it fell straight into Li Ke's hand.

Li Ke's face was gloomy. Knowing that this is a demonstration by her stepmother to herself, with her, no one will be allowed to shake the foundation of Datang. After Li Ke sat down again. I no longer have the interest in drinking tea, so I sit in the same place and sigh for a long time.

Li Shan and Li Tao knew that the two had important things to talk about next, so they got up and retired. There was a deathly silence in the room, Yuan Ziyan was silent, slightly closed his eyes to adjust his breath, and Li Kecheng was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out.

It's not that Li Ke is timid. If the rebellion is to be implemented, it is the fault of the Jiu clan, and the wives and children will be affected. I can't escape a dead word.

After a while, Yuan Ziyan heard the sound of crying, of course, it was Li Ke.

"It's useless, crying and crying. It's not like your father! Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but scold.

"Where do I dare to compare with my father. He is a prince, surrounded by talents, and has even more outstanding military exploits, all of whom surrendered. Besides, I don't have the courage of him, Xuanwu mutinied, and killed my brother and brother......"

"Shut up!" Yuan Ziyan was furious, waved his hand, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground. Break into several pieces.

Hearing the movement, more than a dozen guards immediately rushed in from outside. Yuan Ziyan snorted: "Stand down for me!" ”

The guards stood still and didn't dare to move, and when they saw Li Ke waving their hands, they had to retreat.

"Mother-in-law, although Ke'er is a prince, she lives a very depressed life. It's better to show off his martial arts, and he doesn't have the luck of Zhi'er, he honestly guards in Anzhou, but he is full of the eyeliner of the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Ke looked up to the sky and sighed, and said lamentingly: "Mother-in-law, once upon a time, Ke'er also gave up her delusions and wanted to make a history of assassination with peace of mind, and she lived for the rest of her life. But the situation is pressing, like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

Li Ke said very sincerely, and Yuan Ziyan also softened his tone and said, "Ke'er, I can understand your mood. You say that your father is brave and your ninth brother is lucky, why don't you think about the suffering they have endured? The Xuanwumen Mutiny is the pain of your father's life, in order to wash away this stain, his hard work is obvious to all, do you need me to say more? Your ninth brother Zhi'er, how carefree the prince of Jin used to be, now he endures gout and stays up all night, and when does he have time to relax? ”

"This ......" Li Ke choked, and after a while, he still said in an urn voice: "Having said that, why do so many people would rather die than fight for the emperor's position?" ”

"Ke'er, this is endless greed. Your mother will not call you back to the palace until she dies, so that you can live. Yuan Ziyan said patiently.

"What my stepmother said is true, but my grandmother, now she has been restored to her status as queen and is buried with her grandfather." Li Ke explained for himself, and in his heart he still thought that Empress Xiao was his grandmother, Yuan Ziyan was noncommittal, everyone was dead, and what else was there to argue about was nothing more than a title.

"Why did you mention your grandmother?"

"Mother-in-law! You can make predictions, don't you really care about your grandmother's words? At the beginning, including Yuan Tianshi, they all showed their grandmothers, and said, and said......" Li Ke seemed a little excited, but the next topic was too sensitive, and said vaguely: "Maybe this is the will of heaven." ”

Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, silent for a long time, Li Ke thought that he had said what she was thinking, stepped forward, and said expectantly: "Stepmother, since it is the will of heaven, no one can change it easily." If I can achieve great things, I will definitely treat the old people well, especially my closest relatives. ”

"Be kind? If these people want to rebel, the laws of the ministers will not forgive them, how can you be kind? ”

"This, this, you know how to conform to the will of heaven the most, why can't it work when you come to me?" Li Ke asked with a little dissatisfaction.

Yuan Ziyan was silent, got up and pushed the door out, his face was very ugly. Li Shan and Li Tao, who had been waiting outside, also followed Yuan Ziyan and left, and they had already guessed that this negotiation was very unpleasant.

At dinner, Yuan Ziyan refused to dine with Li Ke, but the three of them went out to order some simple meals in the restaurant.

During this period, Yuan Ziyan rarely moved chopsticks, and there was no smile on his face, so Li Shan and Li Tao did not ask for wine. After a while, Li Tao said: "Ziyan, it's really not good, let's leave tomorrow morning, let King Wu fend for himself." ”

"Hey, how can this kid have a brain, he always thinks that he has the life of an emperor! The posthumously crowned emperor is also an emperor, so what's the use! Yuan Ziyan said indignantly.

"Li Ke will be posthumously crowned emperor after his death?" Li Tao showed an incredulous expression.

"I'm just talking about it." Yuan Ziyan said angrily: "It's hateful that this bear child still compares himself with the people, can he, the second generation of officials and riches, compare with Lao Tzu?" At that time, the people of the world were fighting for their lives! If it wasn't consumed too early, then why did the strong body live to be fifty years old! ”

Yuan Ziyan said, tears in his eyes, and Li Tao calmly analyzed: "Ziyan, did Li Ke mention Xuanwumen again?" In fact, I think this child is a manufacturable material, able to bend and stretch, and cautious, but because of his intimacy with you, he said what was in his heart. Ziyan, you should be more persuasive, not sarcastic. ”

"Why did you say that I was wrong again?" Yuan Ziyan said unhappily.

"It's not that Li Shimin is mentioned, so that you have a preconceived idea of Li Ke, think about your previous plans for him......"

"What do you mean, it's not about who you mentioned! The people of the world are gone, can't I miss them? Why are they gone, and they're still talking to him! ”

Yuan Ziyan got up suddenly, and returned to his room without looking back, tears were flowing, and he was complaining in his heart, Shimin, Shimin, you walked cleanly, throw down such a big mess, what obligation do I have to clean up for you!

Behold thy sons and daughters, they all want to dig up thy inheritance, and if thou knowest under the fountain, will thou be able to live in peace? These unscrupulous descendants, they are all your descendants, and they are not mine!

Yuan Ziyan was very depressed, and looked at the moon outside the window for a long time, but he was not interested in Mochizuki Villa, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the crooked moon was like a mocking mouth, looking at his own jokes.

This is the last time, why bother to be embarrassed for the affairs of the Li family, and settle in Mochizuki Villa in the future, regardless of the trivial matters in the world, what son and daughter usurp power for breakfast!

Thinking wildly, Yuan Ziyan fell asleep at dawn, this sleep lasted for a long time, when he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, but he still felt tired, turned over and continued to sleep again.

It wasn't until noon that Yuan Ziyan got up, and his spirit felt better, and after freshening up, Yuan Ziyan stretched his waist and opened the door. A ray of sunshine came in, a little dazzling, no matter what, after all, it was a new day, and we had to meet life with a new self.

When Yuan Ziyan's eyes adjusted to the light outside, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Li Ke knelt on the ground with his legs, and there were several children kneeling with him, presumably all of them, one of whom was still hanging with slugs, but he didn't dare to cry out with tears in his eyes. Behind him were Princess Wu and other wives and concubines, kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, and at a glance, the black pressure was overwhelming.

"Ke'er, what are you doing here?" Yuan Ziyan asked coldly.

"The righteous mother came to visit Ke'er in Anzhou, but Ke'er verbally collided and displeased the righteous mother, which is really damned." Li Ke's face was full of guilt.

The corners of Yuan Ziyan's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but say that at this moment, her willpower was a little shaken again, "It's you who makes me angry, why do you want to take the children with you?" ”

"I want them to know that the consequences of doing something wrong are to be borne by them." Li Ke said.

"Get up, all of you!" Yuan Ziyan hurriedly waved his hand and said, Li Ke knelt still, and the rest of the people didn't dare to move. Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, and bent over to hug a child beside Li Ke.

Oops, I only heard the child let out a cry of pain, and then covered his mouth with his little hand and looked at Yuan Ziyan with wide eyes.

"Does it hurt?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

Well, the child nodded, and then shook his head in horror, Yuan Ziyan looked down at the faint blood oozing from the little guy's knee, very distressed, and said softly: "Be honest, tell the truth." ”

"Sister......

"It's not big, it's not small, you should call it grandmother!" As soon as the child spoke, Li Ke scolded loudly, Yuan Ziyan was taken aback by this title, what grandmother, is she that old?

"Don't be afraid, my sister is here." Yuan Ziyan rolled Li Ke's eyes, but Li Ke almost didn't faint, his son is called his stepmother and sister, isn't that messy, my son is my uncle! (To be continued......)
