Nothing to run to Li Su's house and say something about Princess Wencheng, strictly speaking, Li Su and Li Daozong do not have a deep relationship, and the topic of Princess Wencheng can almost be regarded as Li Daozong's family ugliness, Li Su faintly understood what Li Daozong was asking for, but he still remained silent and listened to Li Daozong quietly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how angry Li Daozong was in front of him and how ugly he cursed, the helplessness in his eyes clearly told Li Su that this was a desperate father asking for help, and it had nothing to do with his identity and title, and he had nothing to do with his family, country, and society, just a very simple father saving his daughter.

Even if it is a high-powered prince, Li Shimin's holy decree of harmony is still like a five-finger mountain pressing him to the ground, Li Daozong can't change that holy decree, and he wants to fulfill his daughter's wish, except for asking for help, what else can he do?

"To be honest, Your Majesty gave Ping'er and his relatives, as well as the barbarian man who was privately engaged with Ping'er for life, I am not satisfied with either, my Ping'er is very young and lovable, other princesses and county lords have relied on their identities since they were young, but my Ping'er was born honest and quiet, never cried in front of her parents, and never asked the old man for anything, she was wronged and hid in the room and quietly wiped her tears, opened the door and smiled brightly, swallowed bitterly, laughed to others, afraid of adding a little trouble to others...... Even when she committed suicide by hanging a beam, she didn't cry when she woke up, and apologized to the old man one after another, saying that she had caused me trouble. ”

Li Daozong said as he spoke, his eyes became more and more red, he poured a sip of wine, and two blushes quickly appeared on his cheeks, and he sighed long: "Such a daughter, how can you not teach the old man to hurt to the bones?" Even if you do something that disgraces your family, you can ...... After all, she is the old man's daughter, I can save her once, how can I save her for the rest of my life? The old man can't watch her die, if it's a debt owed in her previous life, she is suffering, and the old man helps her pay it back. ”

"Your Majesty's will has been made, and Tubo and proximity is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, the national policy cannot be easily changed, not to mention that the old man can't mistake the state affairs with his own selfishness, but the old man really doesn't want his daughter to marry away from home, especially to marry an extraterritorial barbarian she doesn't like, Ping'er looks weak and quiet, but her mind is very heavy, the old man can conclude that this time to Tubo, in less than two years, she will die early, this daughter ...... It is a treasure that the old man has held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, how can the old man bear to see her die? ”

After Li Daozong finished speaking, tears were already raining down.

Li Su pursed her lips, and her heart was mixed.

Unwilling to mislead the country because of selfishness, and unwilling to see his daughter marry away and die early, this kind of ambivalence must be a struggle that is worse than death for a father.

Things seem to have entered a dead end, I don't want to mislead the country, but I also want to fulfill my daughter, how can there be the best of both worlds in the world? After all, there can only be a take-off, not to mention, Li Shimin's holy decree has been issued, the whole country knows, if the decree is violated again, Li Daozong's family will not be far from bad luck, with Li Shimin's strong and arbitrary character, those who dare to challenge his authority usually have no good end, and his own brothers are the same, Li Shimin has already done a good job of killing his own brothers, why not pity a cousin?

For a moment, Li Su also felt a pain in his heart, as well as deep self-blame.

Many years ago, on the river beach at the entrance of the village, he personally said to Dongyang, if His Majesty is reluctant to marry a daughter, why not choose a woman from the clan relatives, canonize her as a princess, and make peace with Tubo.

In a word, it is a prophecy!

At that time, he didn't expect that just because of his words, it would bring such bad consequences, affecting the fate of a pair of lovers, as well as the joys and sorrows of a family.

These chain reactions, which have lasted for several years, are something that Li Su never expected.

Tracing back to its origin, everything started because of him.

The princesses breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't have to marry and kiss far away, however, should the clan woman die? Who should bear this responsibility for social stability?

A deep self-blame hit his heart, looking at Li Daozong, who was crying silently in front of him, Li Su only felt that he was very bad, and he had a deep disgust for himself.

He has always boasted that he lived a down-to-earth life, lived a clear life, was complacent about his transcendence, and had no quarrel with the world, so he could stand on the sidelines and laugh at the world's flies and dogs, competing for fame and fortune, always thinking that he was not a good person, nor could he be regarded as a bad person, and always repeatedly told himself when he was introspective, that he was at least a harmless person, and had no intention of harming others, and of course, he was also prepared to be harmed.

Until today, at this moment, Li Su suddenly realized that people in the world, no matter what, it is impossible to be transcendent, the monks in the temple are all thinking about which donor gives too little money for sesame oil, respect for the Buddha is not sincere, the Buddha will not bless, he is a complete worldly person, what qualifications do you have to stand outside? The words and things that have been done have inadvertently influenced and hurt others after all.

"Harmless"? Who is qualified to comment on yourself like that?

Li Daozong didn't know the self-blame in Li Su's heart at this moment, and still wiped his tears and said: "Children's debts are parents' debts, the old man doesn't ask for anyone in his life, he takes the sword and gets what he wants, his daughter looks like this, the old man can't wait to replace him, but what can the old man do?" The holy decree has been made, the wood has been completed, and he does not dare to disobey the decree and is unwilling to obey the decree, the old man is really ...... Cornered! ”

Snorting vigorously, Li Daozong looked at Li Su, his eyes full of begging.

"Zi Zhengxian nephew, the old man knew your reputation many years ago, you are a person with the ability and means, from the day I knew you, anything you encountered, anything Your Majesty gave you, you can do it beautifully and neatly, from offering advice to Xue Yantuo Tui'en, to recovering the earth-shattering thunder created by the battle of Songzhou, to thousands of strong men defending Xizhou without losing, and then to Jinyang to quell the civil unrest, these things have been heard by the old man, although he is older than you, but the old man has to say that you are the only heroic figure in the old man's life, and you are worthy of the old man's words. Admiration', the old man was desperate, and the first thought came to mind, so ...... Zi Zhengxian's nephew, the old man asks you to help me and help the old man's daughter through this misfortune, can you? ”

Li Su lowered his head and was silent, Li Daozong was not in a hurry, and his expectant eyes kept staring at his face.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it took, Li Su suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Li Daozong, and said, "Uncle Li, the kid still wants to ask, why did you think of me first?" ”

"The old man just said ......"

Li Su interrupted him and smiled: "Forgive the kid for being rude, that's not the reason, the kid wants to know the real reason." ”

Li Daozong's face froze, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed: "Okay, in fact, the thing that the old man heard the most about you at the beginning was the affair between you and Princess Dongyang,...... It is said that the affair between you and Princess Dongyang can only end here, but later, the Gao family and Princess Dongyang are inexplicably haunted, and the government and the opposition are rumored everywhere that the so-called 'Yin soldiers transit', saying that the Gao family planted evil causes back then, and retribution is coming, and you naturally know more about the things behind, the Gao family asked for a divorce, and His Majesty took back his life, Princess Dongyang was the full name festival, so she became a monk, and never married, and vowed to pray for the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor......"

Ruo glanced at Li Su meaningfully, Li Daozong said: "Since Your Majesty's opposition to your marriage with Dongyang, unlucky things, bizarre things, one after another, everything has a cause and effect, there is no flaw, no one has investigated deeply, but the old man was more careful at that time, 'evil cause and evil effect', 'Yin soldiers transit', through these bizarre appearances, the old man only looks at the final result of the matter, what is the result?" Hehe, the result is that Princess Dongyang has changed her identity and still lives in Taiping Village, only one or two miles away from you Li Xianhou, which can be described as working day and night, and His Majesty and the Gao family finally have steps to go down, and no one pays attention to the courtiers and the people anymore, in addition to not being able to marry in the media, you and Dongyang have actually become an undisclosed couple, going back to the past, isn't this exactly what you and Princess Dongyang wanted? ”

Li Su's eyelids jumped, but he still kept smiling and didn't say a word.

Li Daozong looked at him, but there was a little more admiration in his eyes: "Zizheng, Ming people don't say dark words, since they have penetrated it, there is no point to cover it up, if you say that this serial bureau has nothing to do with you, you don't believe it if you kill the old man, and this is also the reason why the old man begged you today, looking at the world, if the old man wants to become a jade screen and save her life, only you can help you in the world." ”

Li Su's face was a little ugly, and it didn't matter if he wore through his words, but what Li Su was worried about now was that even Li Daozong, an outsider, had seen through it, so Li Shimin ......

Li Daozong seemed to see Li Su's worries, and couldn't help but smile: "Zi is worried that Your Majesty also saw the situation you laid out back then?" ”

Li Su glanced at him, his lips twitched a few times, but he still didn't make a sound.

Li Daozong said with a smile: "I can tell you the truth, even the old man can see it, do you think Your Majesty is easier to fool than the old man?" In fact, those of us who sit in high positions and hold the authority of the world worship ghosts and gods in front of our subjects, and the gods and gods believe everything, but I tell you, the last thing we believe in is ghosts and gods! The power was won by oneself, snatched by oneself, and snatched with a sword and a sword, what does it have to do with ghosts and gods? It's just that there must be a posture to the outside world, there is a saying, you can't give people an arrogant posture of not believing in ghosts and gods, so your so-called evil causes and evil effects, the Yin soldiers crossing the border, were scared at the beginning It is true, and then they feel ridiculous, once you don't believe in these, it is too simple to find out the doubts from them. ”

"Zi Zhengxian's nephew, you, underestimate Your Majesty's wisdom, and also underestimate Your Majesty's mind, the three words 'Tian Khan' are not called casually, without the same mind and bearing as the sea, how can you be qualified to be praised by all nations as 'Tian Khan'? After the events of that time, if Your Majesty wanted to be more serious, you would probably be cut down for the crime of bullying the king, but you are living a good life now, Your Majesty has never mentioned this matter again, and your favor is still the same. It shows that Your Majesty has long stopped caring with you, you were less than twenty years old at that time, Your Majesty should be a child's prank, and it will be over after that, so Zizheng, you don't have to worry about Your Majesty settling accounts with you, the accounts that should be settled have been settled many years ago. ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "But now, Uncle Li, you let the kid do the bullying thing again, do you think the kid still dares to do it?" ”

Li Daozong looked at him and said, "When did the old man say that he wanted you to bully the king?" The old man only hopes that you will be upright and persuade His Majesty to take back his life, if you can't take it back, you should also think of a step that the monarch and the ministers are willing to go down, turn this matter around, and save my daughter from the sea of suffering, Zizheng, the old man knows that it is difficult to solve this matter, but the old man can only beg you. ”

Li Su's face became more and more bitter, rubbed his face vigorously, and sighed: "Those ten big boxes...... It's really not cheap! ”

Li Daozong smiled and said: "The old man has not had a deep relationship with you in the past few years, so he has to ask around and vote for what you like, those old killers in Chang'an City say that you like money the most, so the old man will simply be direct and use money to knock on your door, you ...... It shouldn't be a surprise, right? ”

Li Su's smile became even more bitter: "No surprise, of course no surprise, if it's just a free gift, and there's nothing else to ask for after sending it, then it's even better, okay?" ”

Li Daozong's smile was still bright: "No." ”

Li Su muttered distractedly: "There is really no free lunch in the world, and there is no box for nothing......

Li Daozong looked at him earnestly and said, "Not to mention money and mundane things, Zi Zhengxian nephew, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and also accumulating blessings for himself, is this reason okay?" Anyway, I asked Zi Zhengxian's nephew to help me once, Ping'er is in the prime of her life, and the old man can't bear to see her die. ”

Li Su looked at him and said, "If the outcome of this matter has changed, she may have to marry the prince of that small barbarian country in the future, are you willing to do the same?" ”

"Of course not! But that's a matter of later, the old man just wants to solve the matter in front of him, and the matter of Tubo and his relatives is irreversible, but the woman that the old man hopes to send to Tubo is not my daughter. ”

Li Su sighed: "The holy decree has been issued, the princess has been sealed, in two days Lu Dongzan and they will escort the princess on the road, at this time, how easy is it to let His Majesty recover the holy decree?" If it is not handled properly, it is possible to cause a war between the two countries, Uncle Li, your topic is too big, the kid really can't do it, and he can't afford the consequences. ”

Li Daozong's expectant expression suddenly became very disappointed, and he looked at him distractedly: "Even you don't want to help the old man?" ”

Li Su sighed: "It's not that I don't want to, Uncle Li, I really want to help you, it's not hypocritical and polite, it's the truth, but everything that is not too difficult, I am willing to help with all my might, after all, Dongyang and I have also suffered from love, I and she have also suffered a lot of pain, with a heart, I also hope that there are lovers in the world who can become dependents, but ...... It's too difficult, and in two days, a definite thing can be completely reversed, and this matter is ...... I really can't do it, others say I'm smart, but I know that I'm just a little clever at best, and I can't get on the table. ”

Li Daozong bent his waist weakly, stared at the table with his eyes blankly, and after a long time, he took a sip of the cup, drank too quickly and choked, his face was red and his ears were red and he coughed for a while, and suddenly fell on the table and cried.

"My poor daughter......"

*******************************************************************

Li Daozong got drunk and left.

Before leaving, Li Su wanted to return the ten boxes to him, but Li Daozong insisted on not accepting it, he was drunk and his mind was in turmoil, where did he care about these external objects?

Li Su helped the stumbling Li Daozong into the carriage, and when the carriage went away, Li Su was still standing at the door and didn't know what to think.

Li Daozheng walked out from behind, squinted at the direction of the carriage leaving, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw the prince, I didn't pay attention to it, other people's guests were drunk like that, interesting, haha." ”

Li Su turned his head and glanced at his father, and said thoughtfully: "Dad, if one day, the child is in danger, can you save me?" ”

Li Daozheng narrowed his eyes vigilantly: "What's wrong?" Are you in trouble again? Well...... Wait, Lao Tzu can't kill you if you find a family method! ”

Li Su hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "The child hasn't been out much recently, what trouble can he cause, just chatting, can't we talk a few words if our father and son are fine?" ”

Li Daozheng looked at him suspiciously: "It's just chatting, really didn't cause trouble?" ”

"I really didn't cause trouble, Dad, what did you think of the child, do you think I'm a troublemaker?" Li Su was dissatisfied.

Speaking of this, he opened the old account, and Li Daozheng was furious: "Do you think you are not a troublemaker?" Pat your chest and ask, speak your conscience, how many troubles have you caused outside in the past few years! Lao Tzu's righteous heart to destroy his relatives is gone! ”

Li Su scratched his head and thought about it, it was really ......

With a confused face, Li Su hurriedly changed the topic: "Dad, tell me, if the child is in danger, will you be desperate to save me?" ”

Li Daozheng snorted and said, "My own son, my own seed, of course I have to save it." ”

Li Su blinked: "What if this danger is huge?" It's so big that manpower can't solve it, no matter how much you save it, it's doomed to be in vain, can you still save it? ”

Li Daozheng sighed: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to save it, even if it doesn't work, even if you lose your own life, you still have to save it, your own son, watching him fall to the ground, watching him grow up, from childhood to adulthood, every small inch is happy for a long time, when I think of his own blood in the flesh and blood in his bones, looking at him is like seeing his other life, no matter how big the danger is, I have to save it, whether I can save it is another matter, how can I watch my other life just gone?" ”

Li Su pursed her lips, but her eyes were inexplicably red.

"Baby, don't look at you now more awake than anyone else, but many things in the world can not be comprehended by awakening, such as the heart of your father, you can't understand it if you don't become a father, you don't understand why your child is a little bit of skin, and your father and mother feel that it hurts to dig their own heart, because the child is their second life, even more important than their own life."

Looking at Li Daozheng's side face in a daze, Li Su gradually realized that under the old man's honest appearance, there were actually fierce emotions like a volcano, but after years of sharp blades, the volcano had fallen silent, and the hot and blazing magma was still beating and rolling in the belly of the mountain, however, except for himself, no one else could see it anymore.

The blood was still not cold, the chest was still hot, it was just hiding in the deepest part.

How long has it been since you've looked so closely and seriously at Daddy's eyebrows? Looking at the wrinkles on Li Daozheng's face at this moment, Li Su suddenly felt strange, a few years ago, those wrinkles didn't seem to exist, when did they climb up to his father's face?

"Dad, you have gray hair." Li Su found a new continent and stared at Li Daozheng's sideburns, a little snow-white.

Li Daozheng was stunned, stroked his sideburns, and said with a smile: "Coward, I had it a few years ago." ”

"Dad, I'll help you pull it out."

"Get out of the way, the gray hair is getting more and more, you know what. Lao Tzu is so old, how about a few more gray hairs? Li Daozheng scolded with a smile.

Li Su lowered his head with a smile, and his voice became a little strange: "Dad, don't grow white hair anymore, it's not good-looking." ”

Li Daozheng laughed: "Talking stupid things again, can't you grow white hair, can you let me?" ”

Li Su still hung his head and laughed: "Yes, it's really stupid." ”

**************************************************************

Half-lying in the room, Xu Mingzhu added water to the copper kettle on the stove while looking at Li Su frequently.

Li Su was a little strange today, after chatting with Ah Weng outside the gate of his house in the morning, he became very silent when he returned to the backyard, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were still a little red.

Xu Mingzhu rarely sees Li Su like this, in the past, whether it was peace or danger, Li Su always looked lazy, as if anything was nothing in his eyes, and it could be easily solved with a shot, but today......

There was a rare silence between the husband and wife in the room, Li Su looked at the red tongue of fire on the stove in a daze, Xu Mingzhu sat quietly on the side, and his worried eyes glanced at him from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Mingzhu finally couldn't help but say, "Husband, you ...... Got something on your mind? ”

Li Su came back to his senses, turned his head to look at her and smiled, and said, "I can't talk about my thoughts, but I feel a little emotional." ”

"What do you feel?"

"I feel sorry for the hearts of my parents all over the world...... Li Su sighed, I don't know what I thought, and my expression was a little gloomy.

"Pity the ......hearts of parents in the world" Xu Mingzhu's apricot eyes lit up, and said with a smile: "The husband is worthy of being a talent, and the exit will become a chapter, this sentence is said well, the hearts of parents in the world, only the word 'pitiful' can be exhausted." ”

Li Su looked up at the beam of the house and sighed: "It's not just my own parents, but also other people's parents, for the sake of their children, they can ignore face, don't care about identity, and don't care about dignity......"

Xu Mingzhu said cautiously: "What the husband said is that he came to our house today...... King Jiangxia? ”

Li Su didn't answer, turned his head to look at her: "Mingzhu, there is one thing, this matter is very dangerous, I am not sure how to do it, I could have done it without it, because once I do it, it is very likely that we will suffer a catastrophe, and our whole family will suffer a catastrophe, but ...... When it comes to the source, this matter is the evil cause I planted at the beginning, the unintentional words of a few years ago, but unexpectedly it has hurt others now, I feel extremely guilty, Mingzhu, what do you say I should do? ”

Xu Mingzhu was a little surprised: "Husband, what are you ...... Discuss with a concubine? ”

"Of course, I'm discussing with you, this family has half of you."

Xu Mingzhu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said softly: "Husband, if you don't do this, what kind of evil consequences will be?" ”

Li Su sighed: "There are no consequences, we have successfully avoided the disaster, it's just ...... From then on, I couldn't get rid of my demons, and I couldn't be a calm person anymore. (To be continued.) )
