Chapter 968: Monarch, Father and Son (I)
His Majesty Li Er was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, with a warm smile on his square face, but when he saw Li Ke and Fang Jun's undignified posture, his footsteps stopped, and the smile on his face froze.
Li Ke and Fang Junleng paused for a moment, came back to their senses and quickly got up, hurriedly got down to the ground to put on their shoes, and saluted together: "Erchen (Weichen) has seen my father (Your Majesty)." ”
His Majesty Li Er snorted, his face was uncertain, and he said angrily: "A prince, a marquis, just like this, has no image and no education, it's simply unorthodox!" If you are bumped into by outsiders, wouldn't you be laughing and generous? ”
He doesn't particularly care about the rules, he still has to behave in his own home in private, is he tired? He just got angry when he saw Fang Jun's lazy appearance, his third son Li Ke is the best of the outstanding people, with a calm and courageous personality, and now he is laughing crookedly on the kang without an image, he must have been abducted by Fang Jun, so he embarked on a crooked path......
Fang Jun didn't know that he was "lying down and was shot", and said with a hippie smile: "Your Majesty, you are not an outsider, presumably you won't praise and belittle your courtiers everywhere, right?" ”
As a result, His Majesty Li Er's leg stretched out with a kick.
Li Ke's eyelids jumped, and he said in his heart, Fang Jun, you really dare to say anything, don't you know that when this king sees his father, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, his scalp is numb, and his legs are weak?
The palace maids who came casually stayed outside the door, and His Majesty Li Er sat on the kang with his hands behind his back.
Li Ke naturally didn't complain about why the servants in the palace didn't report it, thinking that he was stopped by his father. Hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea, and added a few delicate snacks.
His Majesty Li Er sat down and asked, "I just heard you laughing outside the door, I don't know what you were talking about?" ”
Li Ke was about to reply, but Fang Jun had already rushed to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached His Royal Highness King Wu." ”
Li Ke looked dazed, this kid actually wants to sue himself?
His Majesty Li Er said curiously: "What are you impeaching him?" ”
Fang Jun said seriously: "The impeachment of His Royal Highness King Wu is untrustworthy, and he just said that Wechen is 'talented but not virtuous', which has greatly ruined Wechen's reputation and made Wechen's reputation deeply damaged, please Your Majesty investigate his defamation and compensate Wechen for the loss of reputation." ”
Li Ke seemed to have seen a ghost, his mouth was open enough to fit a fist.
You bastard, just now you were good and I am a good brother, turn around and give this king eye medicine?
His Majesty Li Er was a little stunned, paused, and laughed: "Isn't that just scolding you for lacking morality?" ”
Fang Jun said angrily: "Exactly! The dignified prince, how can he scold people at will? Weichen's impeachment of King Wu again undermined the royal prestige. ”
Li Ke couldn't wait to pounce on it and kick this thing to death!
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er laughed and stretched out his thumb at Li Ke: "Ke'er said it well, it is exactly what I want, this is called the hero sees the same thing!" ”
Looking at the gentle face of His Majesty Li Er and the narrow smile, Li Ke was a little distracted, but a warmth gradually rose in his heart.
Father's ...... How long has it been since I've spoken to myself so affectionately?
He also understood Fang Jun's intention of talking nonsense, and it was this seemingly nonsense way to eliminate the estrangement between each other. Laughing and making a fuss, the many barriers between monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons seem to disappear in an instant.
Li Ke's eyes were a little hot, and he smiled astringently: "This person is not ashamed of his words, he often boasts of both virtue and integrity, and he is not afraid to laugh at the big teeth of the world." ”
His Majesty Li Er smiled and waved his hand at Fang Jun: "You go back first, I have something to say to King Wu." ”
"No."
Fang Jun was not dissatisfied, knowing that the father and son were going to talk, he secretly gave Li Ke a "reassured" look and withdrew.
Only father and son were left in the flower hall.
His Majesty Li Er beckoned: "Come and sit." ”
When Li Ke sat opposite, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Is there any wine in the house?" ”
Li Ke was a little apprehensive, he didn't know what his father was going to say today, and replied: "There are grapes from the Western Regions, and there are also high-quality wines given by Fang Jun to his sons, I don't know which one my father likes?" ”
"House wine?" This is a first-class good wine on the market, and His Majesty Li Er has drunk it, it is very strong and mellow.
"No, it is a kind of multigrain wine brewed by Fang Jun with five kinds of grains, including soybeans, rice, glutinous rice, buckwheat and corn, called 'Wuliang Yuye'."
Li Ke said respectfully.
"Oh? I've never heard of it, so I'll try it. His Majesty Li Er commanded, and then said angrily: "This mallet! Don't you know how to honor me if there are good things? It's a shame that I married my daughter to him, what a white-eyed wolf! ”
"My father was angry, it wasn't that Fang Jun didn't know filial piety, this wine was brewed by chance when Fang Jun was in Jiangnan, and he ordered the craftsmen in the family to brew it. Fang Jun didn't interfere in the whole process, how dare he rashly give it to his father to drink? ”
Li Ke is a kind person, although Fang Jun "sued him" just now, he still took the initiative to defend Fang Jun.
His Majesty Li Er was still unhappy: "Then dare to give you a drink?" You're also a prince, and he can't run except for problems. ”
Li Ke was speechless.
The prince and the emperor have different levels and completely different natures, okay?
Even if there is anything wrong with this wine, as long as Li Ke does not die, there is no big problem, but even if the emperor spoils his stomach for a few days because he drinks this wine, it must be a big crime, and a big board is light, in case there is a fault with it, he will be placed on a charge......
The consequences are unimaginable.
How bad is Fang Jun's brain, and he dares to take the new wine brewed by people for you to drink?
After a while, the maid walked briskly with a porcelain altar, followed by several chamberlains from King Wu's mansion, preparing a few ready-made snacks for wine. The tea set on the tea table was removed, the side dishes were put on the table, and the crystal clear liquor in the wine jar was poured into a silver wine jug.
The maid held the pot in her hand and filled the wine glasses for the father and son.
His Majesty Li Er picked up the wine glass, put it to the end of his nose and sniffed it, took a sip gently, and sipped his lips, full of fragrant wine and a long aftertaste.
couldn't help but praise: "Fang Jun's crooked ways are indeed unparalleled in the world, I'm afraid that those old winemakers who have been brewing wine for a lifetime will not be able to make wine with such a taste." ”
Li Ke felt that it was difficult to accept this, because he couldn't understand whether his father's words were praising Fang Jun's talent, or damaging Fang Jun's lack of business, or both......
It was a bit cold for a while.
There seems to be an invisible and intangible separation between father and son, and it is not estranged or close.
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er took a sip of wine and sighed: "Ke'er, do you still complain about your father in your heart?" ”
Li Ke was silent, holding the wine glass in his hand, a little in a trance.
Resentment?
How can you not complain!
But......
After a moment of silence, Li Ke raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, the spicy wine cut his throat and intestines like a steel knife, and it was as hot as a burning knife everywhere he went. After that unspeakable heat, there is a relaxed feeling of relaxation!
Li Ke said frankly: "Grievances. ”
It's not "resentment", it's "resentment", and the meaning is never the same.
His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, took a mouthful of refreshing bamboo shoots, chewed it, and said slowly: "Let's hear it." ”
The liquor seemed to burn Li Ke's blood, giving him unprecedented courage, and in front of his father, who had always respected, loved, and feared, he put aside all timidity and cowardice, and poured out his bitterness and spoke freely.
"For a long time, Erchen was not convinced by the prince, Qingque, and all his brothers, and from beginning to end, Erchen thought that he was the coolest one for Xiao's father! When it comes to talent and ability to govern the country, Erchen thinks that he is the most outstanding one among his father's many sons! I wonder what my father thinks? ”
His Majesty Li Er was silent and nodded slowly.
Indeed, the prince is cowardly and indecisive, Qingque is arrogant and arrogant, and the rest of the son is even more unsuccessful, only the third son Li Ke is outstanding and crowns all the kings. That's why His Majesty Li Er made a comment on Li Ke that "Yingguo is like himself".
His Majesty Li Er can't deny this, and he doesn't want to deny it.
Li Ke's spirit was shocked, and his handsome face was rendered a little more red by alcohol: "So the sons are not convinced, is it because the sons are not sons-in-law, is it because the sons have the blood of the former Sui, so not only must they stay away from the throne, but even stay away from the capital, and go to the poor places where the miasma is raging in Anzhou to grow old, and they will not see their father, their mother, their brothers, sisters, relatives and friends again in this life?" It's not fair! ”
Later, his tone gradually became agitated and his emotions were excited.
