Chapter 38: Night Talk
Seeing Danfang, Qi Le vaguely guessed what Li Zongren wanted to ask, but in the face of an emperor, if he doesn't speak, you must not speak, Qi Le knows this truth very well. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Zongren corrected the recital slowly, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person as Qi Le by his side.
Time passed slowly, the sunset had gradually sunken, and the sky was a deep purple.
After the little cha had already changed the candle flame once, Li Zongren finally put down the pen in his hand and stretched his waist.
"I ascended the throne at the age of forty-seven, and for more than thirty years, almost every day. The territory of my southern kingdom is tens of thousands of miles, and there are 12 million people, and all their food, drink, Lazar, and sleep must be taken care of. Li Zongren looked at the starry sky outside the hall, "I have an elder brother, he is the crown prince, but he is dedicated to cultivation, and after he left with the master in front of the first Jiazi, he has not come back for a long time, otherwise this son should not be me to sit." ”
Qi Le listened quietly, it was the first time he knew that Li Zongren actually had an elder brother, and Li Changsheng actually had an uncle. But Qi Le knew that at this moment, he should do his duty as a listener, that is, not to interject.
"But I like this seat a lot, not because it can turn clouds and rain, but because I sit here and look at my country, it's so picturesque, which makes me happy."
"Chang'an, you're sixteen this year, right?"
Finally hearing his name, Qi Le nodded hurriedly.
"Changsheng is my only son, you two have played well since childhood, and you know his illness."
"But what is the most comforting thing about me, you know?" Li Zongren put his hands behind his back and finally glanced at Qi Le, who saw the vicissitudes of life in his eyes, "What I am most pleased with is that even though this child knows his body and knows that he can't practice, in this world where the average life expectancy of cultivators is nearly three hundred, when he can only live for twenty years, he is not decadent, not depressed, not indulgent, he is working hard to learn everything he should learn, walking step by step according to the path I arranged for him, and even marrying a woman he has never seen." ”
"The immortal nature is indeed excellent." Qi Le nodded.
From childhood to adulthood, Qi Le admired him very much. When Qi Le and Mu Yunfei were scurrying around Shangling City with their bare butts, Li Changsheng was already holding the book.
When Qi Le took Zhao Hanjing and Qi Jinyu around crazy, Li Changsheng was already deducing the battle array.
Li Zongren grabbed the teacup and wanted to take a sip, his hands trembled slightly, and after a while, he said a little hoarsely: "This Danfang ......"
"With him, in less than half a month, I will give you a long-lived and hundred-year-old Li Changsheng!" Qi Le is very confident, this Dan Fang is deeply engraved in his heart, he has absolute confidence, Li Changsheng can rely on it to regain his life.
"Good, good!" Li Zongren slapped Qi Le three times, his eyes were slightly red, and his complicated tone made Qi Le's heart tremble, he knew that Li Zongren had endured no less than Li Changsheng for many years.
How can the crown prince of a country, the future king, fall on the head of a dying man?
Li Zongren has only one wife in his life, which is Li Changsheng's mother. And she died in childbirth when she gave birth to Li Changsheng, and Li Zongren vowed never to marry again.
So Li Changsheng became his only descendant.
However, Li Changsheng only had a twenty-year lifespan, which made the ministers and nobles of the southern kingdom very dissatisfied. thought that Li Zongren should marry again, but he forcibly suppressed him.
But as time goes by, Li Changsheng is getting older and older, and the day of his death is getting closer and closer, and the pressure on Li Zongren is getting bigger and bigger, and this time Li Changsheng married the ninth princess of the Tang Dynasty, which is a compromise by Li Zongren under heavy pressure.
But now, after Qi Le presented the Cloud Swallowing Rain Pill, everything is different!
"There's something I've always wanted to ask you." Li Zongren suddenly stared at Qi Le in a daze, making Qi Le feel numb.
"How did you know that Zhao Jian'an would be assassinated that night?"
Sure enough, this question still came, Qi Le smiled shyly: "I just happened to meet it there!" ”
"You're a three-year-old!?" Li Zongren was a little angry, patted Qi Le's head, and said sharply, "Since you will kill that person, you must have predicted it, if that person succeeds, it will cause disaster, so now, tell me everything you know!" A groom who has been in the Zhao family for more than ten years, Dongchen has not yet had the ability to insert the chess pieces so deeply! ”
Qi Le lowered his head slightly, staring at the red candle in front of him, Li Zongren was indeed powerful, and he could analyze the ghosts in the southern country from just a few simple pieces of information.
Qi Le was silent, not knowing whether to say those three words, you must know that the biggest help for Li Zongren's ascension to the throne back then was Zhang Yuyuan, there is no evidence at the moment, what is Qi Le to convince Li Zongren.
"Say! Who is it! Li Zongren saw the hesitation in Qi Le's eyes and shouted.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has something to ask to see." The temple shouted in a small cha with a sharp voice.
"Let him in." Li Zongren waved his hand and motioned for Qi Le to hide behind the screen.
Zhang Yuyuan, who was dressed in plain clothes, strode in, the two did not pay the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, in private, Li Zongren has always called Zhang Yuyuan Brother Zhang.
"It's so late, what's the matter so anxious?" Li Zongren showed Zhang Yuyuan a seat and said with a pleasant face.
"It's not Qi Le's kid yet!" Zhang Yuyuan's voice was very high, and Qi Le hid behind the screen, a little puzzled.
Li Qingshan let out his words and wanted to kill Qi Le with his own hands in the trial of Shangling Academy! You said that this Qi Le is really, he can actually offend Li Qingshan and the behemoth of Datang, how can this be good! ”
"He's presumptuous! Dare to kill my Nanguo Tianjiao, does he still want to go back to Datang?! Li Zongren slapped the table fiercely.
"Your Majesty......" Zhang Yuyuan sighed, "Does he dare you know better than me...... What can we do if Qi Le dies, but if he Li Qingshan has something bad in our southern country, the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty will level our southern country in an instant! ”
"Humph! Just watching him on my head!? Li Zongren was furious.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of my southern country, we have to swallow this breath."
"Qi Le is the Tianjiao of my southern country, and he Li Qingshan stepped on it like this?"
"In this way, I'll mediate and let them meet, it's not a big deal, just talk about it."
“……”
Zhang Yuyuan and Li Zongren discussed some major national affairs and left.
Qi Le stepped out from behind the screen, and Li Zongren said calmly: "What do you think?"
"We've been at war with Dongchen for several years...... How long can we last? Qi Le's eyes were burning and he looked directly at Li Zongren, the emperor of the southern country.
"This war will not end so easily, I have long been prepared for a protracted war!"
"Your Majesty!" Qi Le's tone was raised an octave, "If you can really fight for a long time, then why are you in such a hurry to marry Datang?" ”
