Chapter 137: Uncle and Nephew

After making a fuss for a while, Li Shimin also calmed down.

In fact, Li Shimin in history is not a murderous emperor. Aside from killing his own brother, he really hasn't killed a few people. In the Zhenguan Dynasty, it was rare to hear of any unjust cases. Compared to the emperors of later generations, he was very merciful. From this point of view, it makes sense that he is called Mingjun. If you want to kill, you will kill your own family, do not attack the courtiers, and do not harm the people, such an emperor can of course be regarded as a Ming monarch.

If it weren't for Li Mu's incident today, which was too annoying, he wouldn't have lost his temper so much. At this time, he calmed down, saw Xiao Chen's father-in-law's frightened appearance, sighed, and said, "Don't knock, get up and answer." ”

"No." Xiao Chen's father-in-law hurriedly responded, and his forehead was already bruised. Gao Gonggong handed over a look, and Xiao Chen Gonggong understood, and lowered his eyebrows even more.

"Do you know what kind of madness Li Mu is doing today?"

"The slave doesn't know." Xiao Chen's father-in-law replied without thinking about it, and Gao Gonggong bowed his head with satisfaction, worthy of being his godson who had been trained for many years, but he was more spiritual than the average little eunuch, and he was thorough at all. If you answer such a question, you will be wrong. If you don't offend Li Shimin, you have to offend Li Mu. Li Mu is so easy to offend?

Father-in-law Gao has been with Li Shimin for many years, Li Shimin farted in the afternoon, and he could know what Li Shimin ate at noon when he smelled it. Don't look at Li Shimin's angry posture just now, it is quite scary, in fact, Gao Gonggong knows it in his heart. Li Shimin wouldn't do anything to Li Mu, he wasn't even angry, this gesture was for outsiders to see.

This matter is now just one step away. It doesn't matter who gave this step, and the matter is over. Otherwise, if Li Shimin is really angry, don't the accompanying guards have knives? Just cut it directly, why do you send it to Dali Temple?

Gonggong Gao was thinking nonsense here, and Gonggong Xiao Chen continued to explain, saying: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhulu asked the slave and maid to buy, and the slave and maid took people to the West Market to buy, what happened during this period, the slave and maid really don't know." Then the Marquis of Zhulu and the Emperor Taishang began to drink, and the slave and maid sent someone to deliver the message, and then Your Majesty arrived. What the hell is the reason, the slave really doesn't know! ”

Gao Gonggong muttered a few sentences in Li Shimin's ear at the right time, in fact, it was to remind Li Shimin that Li Mu may have been in a bad mood and gone crazy because of Li Ji's relationship. This kind of thing that fools know, will Li Shimin not know? He just wanted to pretend to be stupid, but the current situation didn't give him a chance to pretend to be stupid, so he waved his hand, and Xiao Chen's father-in-law quickly fled and retreated.

At this time, Li Yourong came in with a tray. On the tray, there is a pot of tea. Li Yourong put the tea on the table and poured tea for Li Shimin. Li Shimin glanced at her, picked up the teacup and was about to drink.

"Your Majesty!"

Gao Gonggong hurriedly stopped, and Li Shimin looked over. Gao Gonggong put on his trademark smiling face, took the teacup from Li Shimin's hand, and then, as if playing a trick, his palm flipped over, and a silver needle appeared in his palm.

"County Lord, the old slave doesn't trust the county lord. It's just that there is this rule, and the rules are the rules, sorry. ”

Li Yourong smiled, bowed slightly, and didn't say anything.

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Yourong is my niece, how can you harm me?" Gao Gan, is this move redundant? ”

Gonggong Gao still insisted and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave serves Your Majesty, so you must fulfill your duties, and please forgive Your Majesty." As he spoke, Gao Gonggong first looked at the teacup, then poured out a little tea and tried it with a silver needle. The color of the silver needle did not change, and he was still not at ease, so he continued to look at the teapot, and then poured out a little tea to try to ensure that there was no problem, and then took back the silver needle and poured the tea again for Li Shimin to drink.

Li Shimin glared at Gonggong Gao in displeasure, as if he was reproaching him. Gao Gonggong just laughed and didn't say anything.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and put the teacup down. said to Li Yourong: "Yourong, I don't believe you." Senior cadres are also responsibilities, and you don't have mustard in your heart. ”

Li Yourong looked at Li Shimin, suddenly bowed down, and made a big salute. Li Shimin hurriedly helped her up and said, "What is this for, between you and my uncle and nephew, there is no need to see her like this!" ”

Li Yourong said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and although your courtiers are your nieces, you should also talk about the monarch and ministers first, and then your relatives." The ceremony cannot be abolished, and the courtiers should have entered the palace yesterday to thank her, just because ...... The emperor's grandfather blocked him and failed to make the trip, so please forgive your majesty. ”

Li Shimin listened, sighed, and said: "My father still has a grudge against me in his heart......" After a pause, Li Shimin motioned to Gonggong Gao to bring Li Yourong a brocade pier, looked at her and sat down, and said: "Yourong, I have never dared to mention the things of the year. It's because I'm afraid that it will affect the family relationship between you and me, I don't know if you can understand it, and I was really helpless about what happened back then. I don't know if my father has ever told you about it, that day, life and death were only a thin line. A little bit of a pond, today I am a dry bone in the grave. ”

Li Shimin had tears in the corners of his eyes, and his voice was slightly choked, and he said: "I killed your father, I admit this account!" But I don't regret it, because it was he who ignored brotherhood first, and I believe that I will be a good emperor, more suitable to be a good emperor than him! Now I have done it, I have destroyed the Turks and avenged my great revenge. If he were still alive, I believe, he would admire me. ”

Saying that, Li Shimin smiled again and said, "You may not believe it, but I have often dreamed of your father in the past few days...... Alas, forget it, don't mention it. Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes froze, stared at Li Yourong's eyes, and said, "I have made you the county lord and given you everything you deserve, just so that you know." The affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with you. I treat you as a nephew and will take care of you with all my heart. Even after my father's death, I won't hurt you. I will find you a wishful husband, and you will enjoy the same grace as my eldest princess. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yourong deeply, as if he had seen her through, squinted his eyes slightly, and his gaze was as sharp as a blade: "These are my thoughts." If you think the same way, all is well. But if you have any other thoughts, follow you, and I am here. ”

The rest of the words, Li Shimin did not say thoroughly. But the meaning, Li Yourong has already understood. I am here, not hiding, not hiding. If you want to take revenge, it's up to you to see if you have the ability.

What a confidence.

Li Yourong looked at Li Shimin, and the aura that came to her face made her feel nervous, extraordinary nervousness, unprecedented tension in more than 20 years of her life. She didn't even dare to speak, for fear that she wouldn't be able to control her expression and let Li Shimin see something flawed.

After a while, she barely calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, there is no hatred in the courtier's heart. If so, it is also hatred for his father and for Jieli. What happened to the courtiers, presumably the Marquis of Zhulu has already been told. Back then, if it weren't for my father, my mother and I wouldn't have suffered so much. The mother will not remarry in humiliation, and will not die under the sword of the cavalry sent by Jieli. The courtiers only hated and could not avenge their mother, and there was nothing else to think about. ”

Li Shimin retracted his gaze and said, "I can't help you avenge your enmity with Jieli." Although the Turks were destroyed, there were still many tribes in the old Turkic lands. They serve Jieli as the Lord, and if I kill them. The border cities will never be at peace. I can't bury the lives of thousands of people for you alone. But I can promise you that if the right time comes to take Jieli's life, his life will be yours. It's just that this time needs to wait. If I don't nod, you can't kill him. As for your assassination of him this time, I have already sent someone to him to tell him, and he will not mention it again, nor will he appear in front of you again. What do you think of this matter? ”

Li Yourong bowed his head and was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Courtier, obey Your Majesty's arrangement." ”

Li Shimin laughed, regardless of whether Li Yourong was sincere or false. As the emperor, as her uncle, Li Shimin wants results. As long as the result is satisfactory to him, he doesn't care very much about what Li Yourong thinks in his heart.

Suddenly, he remembered today's events again, so he asked, "Yourong, when Li Mu came to find his father, were you next to you?" What is the reason for such nonsense today? ”

Li Yourong didn't hide it, so he told Li Shimin about the conversation between Li Mu and Li Yuan. But she still has a conscience, and she didn't call Li Mu Li Yuan's 'old man', and those criticisms of Li Shimin's disrespect, only said that Li Mu's abnormality today is related to Li Ji's father and son.

After speaking, Li Yourong said again: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, this matter is all because of me. The courtiers also deeply felt ashamed of General Li Jida's family, and the courtiers wanted to apply to His Majesty, whether they could exchange the courtiers' rewards for ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin. Li Shimin said angrily: "You don't listen to Li Mu's nonsense, the matter of Li Ji's father and son is related to you, but in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with you." Li Mu, this kid, dared to criticize me behind his back! What a bold idea! I'm going to have to clean him up, don't take it personally. Take good care of my father, and I will take care of this matter. ”

Seeing this, Li Yourong knew that if he said anything, Li Shimin would not listen to it, so he stopped talking. At this time, Xiao Chen's father-in-law slipped up again, saying that the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Jue had arrived, and Li Yourong retired and left in the name of taking care of Li Yuan.

When Li Yourong went out, Li Shimin looked at Gao Gonggong and said, "Gao Gan, how much do you think what she said is true and how false?" ”

"The old slave feels ......" Gao Gonggong pondered for a moment and said, "At most, three points are true." ”

"Hehe," Li Shimin nodded, but didn't say anything more. Gong Xiao Chen, who was waiting at the door, said fairly: "Let the people downstairs disperse, what does it look like to kneel together!" Let the auxiliary machine and Shu Jue come up to see me! I'd like to see how they can intercede for that bastard! ”
