On the 16th, the sun had begun to set in the west, and the old emperor Li Jing still had dinner in Zhaohua Palace today, and somehow, the old emperor used half a bowl of rice more than usual. There was a strange smile on his face, sometimes his brows were slightly furrowed, slightly surprised, and sometimes the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, half surprised.

After ordering people to withdraw for dinner, the old emperor leaned against the window, and after drinking half a cup of tea, Li Jingsui, the king of Yan, walked in.

"Uncle Huang, the Chen family is polite!" The imperial concubine's real surname is Chen, and after seeing Li Jingsui coming, she got up and bowed slightly to show etiquette.

"You don't have to see outside, I called Jing Sui to come, there is something today, it's really troublesome, you two have to give me ideas!" Li Jing put down the jade porcelain teacup in his hand and straightened up.

Li Jingsui glanced at the old emperor, found a place to sit down at random, and asked, "What is there to worry about the imperial brother?" Tell me about it!"

"King Wu has returned to Beijing!"

Chen and Yan King Li Jingsui listened, frowned, and glanced at each other again, in the memories of the two, there seems to be no news about this King Wu, is it the newly crowned king with a different surname?

Li Jing looked at the faces of the two, smiled bitterly, and said, "This morning, I also have the same expression as the two of you!"

"Brother Huang, who is this so-called King Wu? Don't sell off with your brothers!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, the concubines have been in this palace for more than 20 years, and they have not heard of anyone who is the king of Wu. What is Your Majesty bothering about?"

The old emperor seemed to find some comfort between the words of the two, not only did he not remember, but others also did not know!

"It's my sixth son, Li Congjia, who went to Chang'an sixteen years ago as a hostage and was named King of Wu!"

At this time, King Yan and the Chen family looked suddenly enlightened, and King Yan Li Jingsui asked again, "Why did Congjia come back?" Is there any movement on the Chang'an side? ”

"Chang'an's side won't talk about it today, I'm just worrying, how should I treat this child in the future?"

Then, the old emperor Li Jing said what happened earlier in Xingqing Palace, 1510, now think about it, maybe it was too unfair to that child, he went to Chang'an alone at a young age, and for 16 years, he could no longer find half a shadow of the six princes in him.

In Xingqing Palace, he is so rude, he is a meritorious person, but he knelt outside the palace all night, but he was scolded by an old eunuch pointing his nose, and the moment he left, maybe he was too disappointed in me!

"Congjia lost his mother since he was a child, his temperament was withdrawn, and he grew up in the tiger, leopard and jackal den in Chang'an for 16 years, I don't know how much he suffered, according to what the concubine saw, it is better to foster him in the name of the concubine and bring him back to the palace, so that she can be born and raised, and the concubine must treat her like her own son." Chen's appearance in his forties, when he spoke, he muttered softly and cried, as if Li Congjia was really his son.

"It's not proper, it's already a crown since Jia, it's an adult, and it's really not a good idea to keep it in the palace again, it's better to live outside the palace, and in the future, I will comfort it more." Yan King Li Jingsui is a little serious, he is not like the woman of the Chen family, he has seen everything over the years, if he raises King Wu in the palace, he will be gossiped, and if he causes any more trouble, the entire Li royal family will be laughed at.

"Yes, it's really not a good idea to keep it in the palace, I also understand the thoughts of the concubine, if I really feel sorry for this child, I will often call it into the palace in the future to see." After thinking about it for a while, the old emperor rubbed the jade wrench in his hand and said to the two.

"What then? This kid has suffered so much outside, and as soon as he came back, he was treated coldly again, and he must have hated us elders in his heart, if he was older, it would be the gate of this palace, and he would not want to come!" As he spoke, Chen began to cry, carefully wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

I have to say that Chen seems to really feel sorry for this child, and before he could say a word, he cried, just like women in the world, they are all mothers, even if Li Congjia is not her own child, whether it is acting or really distressed, Chen has done it to the extreme, and now it looks like he is really crying or fake crying.

"Don't cry anymore, we're here to discuss today, not to see you cry, you can't stop crying here, wouldn't it be a joke for Jing Sui!" The old emperor was a little angry and displeased.

"Brother Huang, don't care, the one in my family is the same, he is very soft-hearted, and he begins to feel distressed when he sees people suffering."

"Hey...... How does it compare? King Yan and his wife are deeply affectionate, they only have one wife, and they will not marry for the rest of their lives, this good story is not comparable to me!"

"Let the royal brother laugh, the world says that I am afraid of the inside, but this is true, the one in my family, started a temper, like a tiger, docile, and like a lamb, I go home every day, I have to look at people's faces to live, how dare I mention the matter of concubines?" When Yan King Li Jingsui said it, his eyes were full of smiles, I am afraid that he has already loved his wife very much.

"Hahaha...... Jing Sui, you are really, you were not like this when you were young! Why is this getting older, and she has become timid, and I am afraid that she will do something, so it is better for me to give you a will, and she will not dare to do it again!" The old emperor smiled and leaned back, and even wanted to make a will to defend his younger brother.

"How did Your Majesty say this to King Yan, the concubines are distressed on the side, you are good, you are still thinking about the matter of taking concubines, this matter of Congjia, the concubines don't want to speak anymore, everything is as Your Majesty wants!" After saying that, Chen got up and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" The old emperor Li Jing was not angry, but just asked.

"Go and see Congshan, I didn't succeed yesterday, and I'm still sulking!"

"Okay, let's go! Persuade him well, and don't let him play tricks! After saying that, he waved his hand.

Chen saw it, bowed down, and gave a full salute.

Not long after the Chen family left, the two Li brothers recovered their original state, and they no longer mentioned the matter of concubines.

"Behold what this woman says, that she will be raised from her knees? It's really a fool's dream, the old eight can't make it, do you want to harm my other son? Somehow, the old emperor scolded, and even threw the teacup on the ground and smashed it.

"The imperial brother is not worth it to calm his anger for the time being, and it is really not worth it to be angry with a woman, but now she should be appeased and asked her to serve the Chen family wholeheartedly."

"Jing Sui, speaking of which, I am angry, last year, Chen Guozhong actually went on the table to abolish the queen and make the Chen family the queen! Tell me about this, how can I not be angry!" The old emperor pointed to the southeast and scolded.

"Brother Huang, don't be angry, you're angry, isn't it cheaper for the Chen family?" Li Jing stepped forward to appease.

"Of course I can't be angry, I still have to live well! Speaking of Congjia, I thought of my second son, Conggu, Conggu has been away from home for more than ten years, longer than Congjia, these years, if it weren't for Conggu confronting Chen Guozhong on the southeast border, I am afraid that the southeastern states would have already entered the pocket of the Chen family. ”

"It's good that Brother Huang knows, we can't intervene from the Gu side for the time being, everything depends on his creation, but now we have to be cautious about Congjia's affairs. Don't let him chill his heart, after all, he is a meritorious person in the country. ”

"Yes! This is also the reason why you are urgently summoned to the palace, have you read the national letter?"

"Look, I didn't expect that I still can't hide, I'm afraid that the new Song Dynasty can't wait, but fortunately, we can defend according to the river, the new Song Dynasty soldiers have more cavalry, these sailors are not as good as us, we still have a few chances of winning."

"Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it, isn't there three more years?" The old emperor Li Jing got up and stretched his waist.

"That'll do!" Li Jingsui, the king of Yan, let out a long sigh and said, "According to the imperial brother, since Congjia dared to say those words in the palace and dared to do that kind of behavior, I am afraid that he has long been indifferent, and he has already been cold, we might as well follow his wishes, no longer bother him, no longer bother him, and the matter of his return to Beijing should also be concealed, and the longer the concealment is maintained, the better, there is no need to hold a banquet in the palace, but there is also a reward, a great reward, after all, in the enemy country for sixteen years, Yu Guo meritorious, since he himself has a place to live in Wutong Street, We don't have to force him to move into King Wu's mansion, but we still have to say hello to the yamen of various government offices, so as not to make trouble. ”

"You're still thoughtful, but what should you reward?" The old emperor asked, Li Jing really can't think of what to reward now, if it is a title, he is already the king of Wu, he is already the top of the sky, silver money or something, it is a small problem, naturally he will be rewarded, but the old emperor Li Jing feels that it is still not enough.

Li Jingsui condensed his eyebrows, and then spoke, "No matter how big the reward is, it can't be exchanged for his sixteen years of dedication, so it's better to give him a talisman to show his favor!"

"You mean the death-free gold medal, what's the use of him wanting the death-free gold medal?"

"Brother Huang doesn't know, Chang'an Fadu is different from Jinling, if Congjia insists on going his own way, this death-free gold medal may be able to save his life, and the nobles of Jinling have no way to take him!"

The old emperor snorted lightly and nodded again and again, "This is as it should be, and then, I asked Lin Hua to announce the decree!"

"No!" Li Jing immediately stopped it.

"Why?"

"What the palace did this morning, sending Lin Hua to go, it's very inappropriate, the younger brother has nothing to do tomorrow, please go!"

"Jing Sui, are you going?" The old emperor was a little surprised, "Although you are his imperial uncle, this kid is arrogant, I'm afraid he is very rude!"

"It's exactly what I want, I also want to see what kind of behavior this future nephew is, and it is not in vain for me to ask for him!"

"Okay, I'll go to the imperial study to draw up the order, Jing Sui, you can come too, and talk to me on the way......"

The two brothers left the Zhaohua Palace before and after and went to the imperial study......
