Zong Xiu vaguely remembered that Li Daozong was later exiled because he was involved in the case of Fang Widow's love and rebellion, and died of illness on the way.

And Li Daozong just wanted to help him kill Cui Xianwen in order to repay his kindness, and Zong Xiu didn't want such a person who valued love and righteousness to be unsafe.

Anyway, everything that should be said has been said, as for how Li Daozong chooses, it depends on himself.

Zong Xiu picked up the chopsticks and beckoned Yi to eat: "Girl, come here, you must eat more today." Haha, the food cooked by the prince of Jiangxia himself can be eaten several times in a lifetime, eat quickly, eat quickly. ”

Yi also put down the sleepy Golden Tiger who was full of food, and sat next to him with a smile and a smile.

The master and servant ate happily, but Li Daozong sat motionless like a log, with entanglement and embarrassment in his eyes.

When Zong Xiu was full of food and drink, he looked at the sky: "Lord Wang, it's not too early this day, if there is nothing to trouble the boat to dock, I will have something to do when I go back." ”

Li Daozong didn't agree immediately, and asked thoughtfully: "Master Zong, if I take the initiative to propose to His Majesty to stay in Chang'an, what will happen for the rest of my life?" ”

"You are all willing to be the prince of Anle, can Your Majesty still embarrass you?"

After Zong Xiu finished speaking, he smiled evilly and said: "If the prince is bored in the future, you might as well take a few family members to go shopping, and do something to eat overlord meals and bully men and women." Hehe, this life is very short, and if you don't try a few ways to live, won't you live in vain? ”

“……”

Yi gave Zong Xiu a white look, with a coquettish face.

Li Daozong took a sip and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Zongxiu, dare to talk to this king like this, I am still the prince." ”

"Hehe, don't you know that you have a good temperament?" Zong Xiu patted his ass without being salty, and said: "Anyway, you don't have any dreams, there is no difference between returning to the fiefdom and being in Chang'an, where have you lived, why bother to make trouble with Your Majesty for a little ethereal reputation." ”

"Yes. You can live anywhere, and you can live no matter how you live. After fighting for half a lifetime, it's time for me to rest. ”

Li Daozong is also a decisive person.

is like what Zong Xiu said: He is now a very popular minister, if he has more ideals and revenge, he will be the emperor.

However, the Tang Dynasty is all from their old Li family, who is the emperor is different? Why risk it for the sake of fame.

Li Daozong instructed Niu Hanshan to prop up the boat to the shore, and after seeing Zong Xiu and Yi get into the carriage and leave, he immediately turned to Niu Hanshan and said, "You go back and talk to Wanqiu first, I will enter the palace tonight to drink with Your Majesty, and go back tomorrow." ”

"Lord ......"

Niu Hanshan opened his mouth, as if he was worried about something.

Li Daozong said with a smile: "Don't panic, there is no harm in entering the palace this time, go ahead." ”

Palace.

When Li Daozong rushed to the palace, it was already dark, and Li Shimin was originally reviewing the chapters, and he was also stunned when he heard the little eunuch on duty say that the prince of Jiangxia asked to see him.

In Li Shimin's impression, since he recruited Li Daozong into Chang'an, this brother has been angry with himself, and he has always been unedicted to enter the palace, why did he take the initiative to see him today?

"Does he want to go back to his fiefdom?"

Li Shimin knew very well that this brother of his had not made a mistake, even if he found various reasons to keep Li Daozong for more than two months, he would have to put him back sooner or later.

"That's it, that's it, if he speaks, let him go."

Li Shimin sighed: "Xuan." ”

"Yes."

The little eunuch ran out quickly.

But after a while, Li Daozong walked in with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, this brother wants to have a drink with you."

Li Shimin's first feeling was: abnormal! It's so unusual! Although he has a good relationship with several cousins, since he became emperor, no one dared to bring a wine jar to him to drink.

Li Daozong walked to the dragon case, put the two jars of wine on the table, tore open the mud seal with his hand, and took out a small silver bowl from his arms, scooped half a bowl from each of the two jars of wine, and drank it directly.

"Haha, it's really good wine. Second brother, I brought this wine from your imperial dining room, and I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha today, don't you mind. ”

Li Shimin saw that Li Daozong drank it first, and he still used silverware, and immediately smiled: "They are all their own brothers, what do you and I share, it's too raw." By the way, what happened to Brother Wang today? ”

"Drink first, then talk about it later."

Li Daozong directly pushed a jar of wine in front of Li Shimin.

"Second brother, do you remember when we were children and we secretly drank grandpa's wine?"

Recalling what happened when he was a child, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile: "Yes, at that time, a few of our brothers were drinking with a jar of learning, and finally got drunk in the wine cellar, and were beaten up after being discovered. I still remember the big ......"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin stopped abruptly.

Of course, Li Daozong knew what Li Shimin wanted to say, but that kind of thing had happened, and he couldn't change anything, so he picked up the jar and touched it with Li Shimin.

"Now there are half a hundred people, and they want to do so much. Come on, do one. ”

'Gollum'

The two of them each hugged the wine jar and drank a full sip.

Li Shimin may not have drunk like this for a long time, but he and his brother directly ordered the little eunuch to close the door of the palace, and the two of them didn't want food, sat on the steps and leaned together, drinking happily.

drank too much wine and talked a lot, the two chatted all over the world, chatting from the present to the past, and from time to time they took out each other's troubles when they were children.

After drinking for about two hours, Li Shimin's face was flushed, and he hugged Li Daozong's shoulders affectionately: "Chengfan, I know that you are angry that I left you in Chang'an and didn't let you go, if you want to go back, you can tell me, and I won't stop you." ”

Li Daozong stared at the two drunkenly: "Second brother, you are wrong, I haven't been angry with you." ”

"Then you're not here to say goodbye to me today?"

"No, I'm here to catch up with you, and I'm not going back."

"What?"

Li Shimin showed an expression of disbelief.

"Second brother, in fact, I have already figured it out, for the sake of our Tang Dynasty over the years, Brother Wang and I have fought for half my life, working hard all day long, and I have no leisure. Now that the children are older, they can share the burden for us. I plan to hand over the fief to Ying'er, and I will keep Chang'an for retirement from now on. ”

Li Daozong said eagerly, took Li Shimin's hand and said: "Our brothers are all old, and it turns out that the years of war have gathered less and left more. If you return to the Tang Dynasty today and the four seas are leveled, you should have a good gathering. Second brother, if you don't dislike it, let me stay in Chang'an. This life is close, you can walk around for a long time, and you can still have someone to talk to when you are lonely. ”

"Chengfan ......"

Li Shimin was excited, and his lips trembled slightly.

The stimulation of alcohol, the injury of memories, and Li Daozong's sincere words, Li Shimin suddenly found that he was really lonely.

The emperors of the ancients were mostly called lonely widows, but who wanted to be a real loner?

Over half a hundred years old, there is a brother who is chatting around, and I have time to talk, what a good picture?

Li Daozong put down the wine jar, got up and bowed to the end: "Second brother, I'm old and want to be idle for a few days." Now there is such a wish, all hopes. ”
