Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Roundabout Compliment

What is the person who is most afraid of when he becomes an emperor?

It's not that I'm afraid of the minister's rebellion, nor I'm afraid of the urgency of the frontier, but whoever is the emperor is most afraid of a short life. Therefore, seeing that Li Zhi showed a rare irritable and irritable side, while Empress Wu was there to take the trouble to comfort him, Li Xian couldn't help but feel that the two supremes at this moment were very much like an ordinary family.

Finally, Li Zhi, who had been tossing for a long time, fell into a deep sleep, and the Empress Wu stood up, and after a trace of exhaustion flashed on his face, he returned to his former spirit. Li Hong, as the crown prince, was driven back to the East Palace to study as a director by Empress Wu, while the two brothers Li Xian and Li Xian were left behind.

"Filial piety comes first, Your Majesty is often sick now, as sons of man, in addition to the morning and dusk, don't forget to take care of your knees on weekdays. Hong'er is the crown prince, and it is impossible to accompany him all the time, so you two should count your brother's share together, understand? ”

Li Xian keenly heard the accent on the four words under Cheng Huan's knees, and immediately came to his senses as soon as his head turned, and hurriedly agreed. And as soon as he agreed, Li Xian, the king of Zhou, immediately nodded again and again like an echo worm. At this time, Empress Wu showed a satisfied smile and gave a few more orders before letting the two brothers go.

"Sixth brother, what does the queen mother mean when she says Cheng Huan's knees?"

Hearing this question in his ears, Li Xian turned his head to look at Li Xian for a long time, and found that this younger brother was serious and had no intention of joking at all, and couldn't help but have a headache. Of course, he can't ask this younger brother like he asks for himself, it's just that Li Xian also learns from Li Hong, and he is not too young at this age, shouldn't he be so wooden-minded in his words and actions?

"Seventh brother, the so-called Cheng Huan knees, it means that we have time to talk to our father more, don't let my father feel lonely, do you understand?"

Seeing that Li Xian was still at a loss, he couldn't help but have a headache. I heard that his cousin Su Jie and the abolished prince Li Zhong have recently said hello, and Li Zhi's attitude has loosened, so what Empress Wu said just now will definitely not be groundless.

Li Xian was the youngest of the three princes, and all the wind and rain were shared by the two elder brothers, so seeing Li Xian frowning and pondering there, he suddenly slapped his face fiercely: "Sixth brother, I understand!" ”

Li Xian was naturally happy now, but Li Xian's next words almost didn't make him angry: "Anyway, I don't understand the big truth, what will the sixth brother do in the future, I will definitely not be wrong to draw a gourd in the same way." Sixth brother, there are so many rules in this palace, I'm about to suffocate to death. You help to beg your father and queen mother, so that the British princess will accept me as an apprentice, and I will also learn to ride a horse and learn martial arts! ”

What did his younger brother think of Li Ji? If he hadn't been deceitful and lucky, and then a little smart, would he have been able to drag this old fox who didn't get involved in royal housework into the water so smoothly?

"Seventh brother, I think so, the British Duke is old now, and I will let Jingye and Bohu teach you to ride a horse in Ming'er. Aren't you the most envious of Bohu's three-plate axe, I'll let him teach you when the time comes! ”

Such a promise naturally diverted Li Xian's attention, and after agreeing with great interest, he turned back on his own. Out of the main hall, Li Xian did not go back directly to his Wude Palace, but went around the neighborhood, and saw that the martial queen also left from a distance, and he was about to go back to the house, but before he could leave, a small chamberlain hurriedly came, saying that Li Zhi wanted to see him.

After being a prince for so many years, Li Xian rarely encountered Li Zhi's summoning alone, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little at this time. It was strange in his heart, but he immediately turned around and went in without saying a word, and at this time, he found that his father, the emperor, had woken up brightly, and although there was a faint look of pain in his eyes, his face was much better.

"Listen to your mother, Xue Rengui's son is also in the Li Mansion now?"

At the same time, Li Xian was taken aback by the first sentence, and at the same time, he also let go of his thoughts. This is a very simple matter, he added fuel and vinegar to the experience of seeing Xue Dingshan's divine shooting that day, and pointed out that Li Ji had pointed out Xiao Xue's hands a few times, Li Zhi not only looked relieved, but also nodded at him appreciatively.

"The British Duke once mentioned to me that his grandson Li Jingye used to be an uncontrollable character, who did not like literature and science, and was only ordinary in martial arts, and reasoning was not suitable for any companion reading. Who knew that in the past few years with Xian'er, Li Jingye has worked hard in martial arts, and finally did not lose his reputation as a British duke. He also said that even the Cheng family is quite grateful to you Xian'er. ”

He heard him right, the old fox Li Ji actually praised him, and praised him in front of Li Zhi? This is the first time in the world!

"This is all the credit of the British public teaching, where does the son have such great ability? It's just that there is a companion for practicing martial arts, and everyone has a competitive heart! Holding back the excitement in his heart, Li Xian obediently humbled two sentences, but before he finished speaking, he was cut off by Li Zhi.

"Hong'er is diligent in studying, and the officials of the East Palace have always recognized him as a prince. You are smart by nature and not under Hong'er, and I was worried that your brothers were too smart and whether there would be disagreements, but now it seems that this worry is really useless. Even Xu Jingzong's Shangguanyi praised the crown prince and King Pei as one, which is enough to be a model of brotherhood and friendship. ”

As soon as he said these words, Li Xian seemed to let go of a big stone in his heart, and he couldn't help but have some doubts while feeling relaxed. It is not surprising that Xu Jingzong can slip his whiskers and shoot horses, this old man made a fortune by slapping horses. However, Shangguan Yi didn't have a reason to say good things about him, he was not familiar with this quasi-prime minister!

"Originally, your mother's intention was to let you live in the Chengqing Palace, but after thinking about it again, I decided to let you live in the Wude Palace. This is also to fulfill the affection of the two brothers. On weekdays, Hong'er goes to you, or you go to Hong'er, you don't have to cross most of the Taiji Palace. Although you are good at martial arts, it is not reasonable to blindly ignore the literature, and you should ask the people in the East Palace for advice when you are free. ”

Li Xian nodded as he listened, and secretly sighed in his heart that the two right-hand men in his palace were worried. As soon as the last sentence entered his ears, he felt a chill in his back, and peeked at Li Zhi's face, and saw that there were indeed no other clues, so he was relieved. As long as Yu Zhining's white-bearded old man is not specially taught to him, then everything is easy to say.

Seeing that Li Zhi's spirit was a little weak, he quickly changed his mind and talked about a series of interesting things after he returned to Chang'an, and when he talked about that polo game, he added a little more fuel and vinegar. Sure enough, I saw that his father, the emperor, gradually smiled, and his expression relaxed. Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing a few attendants cautiously stepping forward to serve, he went out again leisurely, and couldn't help but have 100,000 doubts in his heart. Li Ji has always been strict with him, and even if there is praise, it is often more meaningful, this time this old fox praised him so obsessively in front of Li Zhi, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
