I let out a long breath, and the things I had been holding all this time relaxed, I looked at Sanniang, who was slightly worried, and said with a smile: "What can be difficult to do big brother?" Sanniang, ask you one thing, do you remember Yu Wenhua? ”

Sanniang listened to Yu Wenhua and the four words, her face changed slightly, and she frowned and said, "Of course I remember, how can I forget?" It's him who bullied us because he was older than us. ”

I smiled and said, "Big brother and he can turn enemies into friends now, let alone others?" ”

Sanniang was surprised and asked, "You and Yu Wenhua have become friends?" ”

I nodded and said, "Actually, Yu Wenji is not as ...... as we see Uh, bastard, I'm walking on thin ice above the court, but Yu Wenhua and kindness reminded me a few times, and I learned to protect myself. ”

I thought about it and said, "Yang Su is the same, although he beat me, he values me very much for some reason. This time I went to Luoyang with him, and he didn't embarrass me, you can rest assured. ”

Sanniang exhaled heavily, glanced at me, and said, "If you knew this was the case, you should have made it clear, and it would have made me worried." ”

My mind flashed and I was so touched that no one had really worried about me for a long time, and I didn't feel like I needed to be worried. Kneeling in the Liangyi Hall that day, I thought about whether Yang Guang would be angry and kill me together, I didn't think at that time that if I died, someone would feel sorry for me. Hearing her say this, I kind of understood that if I died, the whole mansion would probably be sad.

I patted her on the shoulder, looked at her with some gratitude, and suddenly felt that it was good to have a sister who cared about me. In fact, in addition to Sanniang, there are many people who care about me, but I seem to have paid too much attention to myself over the years, and I have neglected all of them, and I have lost touch with the people of the entire Tang State Mansion. I thought I was an adult, and I thought that I was left alone in the circle between Yang Guang and Yang Su, but I never thought that the people who really cared about my joys, sorrows, and sorrows were not in the court at all, but outside Daxing City.

Now they're all back.

Dad was transferred back from Longzhou, but he didn't go to other places to be an official, nor did he become an official of the imperial court, and he was idle at home all day, and it can't be said that he was idle, because he still had a lot to take, but Yang Guang didn't appoint his official for a long time.

In this way, I am busier than my father as a son, and I can only play chess with my father when I return home from Daxing Palace in the afternoon. Speaking of playing chess, my dad has been pulling me to play chess with him lately, and I have to accompany him, but playing chess itself is not the point.

"Father, what does the emperor think?" I settled on Kuroko and asked.

The old man stroked his longer beard, thought for a moment, and put a white son on the chessboard before saying: "The emperor is deeply thoughtful, he probably wants to see who his father has made friends with in the court." There was a layer of contempt in and out of his words.

I got another sunspot and said coldly: "The emperor also suspects my father?" In this way, being a courtier is inevitable. ”

Daddy said, "That's fine. Built, tell the father about the two ceremonial halls you mentioned. ”

I listened to my father's words, and the hand holding the sunspot suddenly froze, hanging on the chessboard for a long time and couldn't fall, my father saw this and stabilized my hand, and said with a smile: "I don't want to say it, so it's okay." ”

I said, "Father, this matter was caused by the completion of the project, and it was my bad mind that caused the tragedy." ”

Daddy shook his head and said, "You are really wrong about this. Do you remember that you once asked your father, why did you help the king of Jin? How did the Father answer you? ”

I thought about it for a long time before I remembered, "Father said that even without a father, there are others. ”

"That's right." Dad put down another chess piece and said with a smile: "Do you think things wouldn't happen without you?" No, most of the things in the world are determined by heaven and beyond the reach of human beings. ”

I discerned, "But Father, if everyone thinks like this, how can the situation of the world change?" ”

Daddy smiled, "That's it." He gestured to the chessboard.

I looked down and saw that the layout of this chessboard was exactly what I had laid out when I was pondering the Qingyu Pavilion a long time ago. I didn't pay attention to that at all when I was playing chess.

However, unlike the chessboard I laid out, there were scattered skirmishers on the periphery of the more black and white in the middle, and black and white were placed on the edges.

I looked at my dad in surprise and asked, "Why ......?"

Dad smiled: "Look at this game, you don't necessarily have to design to achieve it, but it's just a casual swing." ”

I think I didn't pay much attention to the game I put up, but I was more concerned about it than I was, what does that mean?

After thinking about it, I asked, "But father, the previous situation of holding each other has not changed, how will you get out of prison if you are in prison?" ”

Dad said: "In time, the prison will relieve itself, and you don't have to do it deliberately for your father." ”

I looked at the chessboard and simply stopped falling, and said to my father: "Father, you have been back to Beijing for many days, and no one has visited the house, which should be able to eliminate the emperor's suspicions, right?" ”

Daddy smiled and said, "Wrong." You're still young, and you still don't understand. As a father who has been in officialdom for many years, how can he not make a few friends? If no one really visits, I am afraid that the father will really be suspicious. ”

I thought about it, and it seemed to make sense—everything that came out of Daddy's mouth seemed to make sense.

Then I told him the story of the blood-spattered Liangyi Temple, and said, "Father still thinks that this incident is not the fault of the construction? ”

Daddy thought for a moment and said, "Naturally not." The emperor has long been suspicious of Yang Su, one of them; Yang Su threatens you with this, this is the second; As a courtier, in front of the king, he should naturally tell the truth, this is the third. It's not your fault. ”

Dad's words were much more powerful than Wang Jue's comfort to me before, and he was not wrong at all. When I told Yang Guang about this, I did have other thoughts, but that was just my thoughts. In other words, no matter what the starting point is, I should tell Yang Guang about this matter, and as for the consequences, it was Yang Guang's own cause. After all, as a king, only he can manipulate life and death.

The day after we played this game of chess, people began to visit the Tang Mansion one after another. If this is what Daddy means, then Daddy's methods are too clever.

In this way, I feel that my daily life is switching between two worlds, one is the treacherous court, and the other is the unguarded Tang State Mansion, and my father happens to be the link between the two worlds.

One day I was practicing swords in the open space next to Cunmo Hall, and it didn't take long to see Sanniang come here with my two younger brothers, Sanniang and I looked at each other, I glanced at the little hairy children, and glared at her.

"Big brother, your swordsmanship has advanced to such a level, I think it's impossible to surpass you." Sanniang pouted and looked at the sword in my hand.

A little hairy boy on the side said, "Hmm...... Big brother, your swordsmanship is so good, the people of the world want to learn it too. ”

I was stunned for a long time, then turned my head and saw Li Shimin staring intently into the eyes of the sword, and I actually saw a faint murderous aura! This must be a psychological effect, such a small hairy child, where does it come from? I shook my head, leaned over and said, "Shimin, when you grow up a little more, your eldest brother will definitely teach you." ”

Li Shimin looked at me stunned, then nodded and said, "Big brother, you have to talk about it." ”

In the face of this enemy who is going to kill me in the future, I didn't feel anything about him as a baby before, but after a few years, when we meet again, I always feel that there is something wrong with him.

I can't say what the problem is.

Sanniang saw that I was a little distracted, pushed me and smiled: "Big brother, why do you keep staring at the people?" ”、

Another little hairy boy arched his hand and said, "Big brother, Xuanba also wants to learn." ”

I came back to my senses and smiled, "Okay." ”

Li Shimin said again: "I heard my father say that the eldest brother is familiar with the Six Classics and has studied the art of war, and Shimin also wants to learn from the eldest brother. ”

The strange feeling in my heart is even stronger, this Li Shimin began to have thoughts at such a young age? He is also too studious, why do you want to learn the art of war? At his age, he should have read the Analects first.

Although I thought so, I still agreed, after all, it was the son of my father and my mother.

After I returned to the room, I almost immediately inquired about Li Shimin's life after he was born, and Rong'er was still there.

Actually, I've grown old enough that I don't need someone to serve me, but my mother thinks that I don't know how to take care of myself, and I don't know how she sees it.

Rong'er hasn't changed much compared to five years ago, but I heard Sanniang say that the mother originally planned to find her someone to marry, but who knew that she didn't agree to live or die, and just wanted to stay in the Tang State Mansion, so the mother responded to her request and kept her by her side, but Ziming, who had a good relationship with her, finally went out of the house to marry.

Because I returned to the Tang State Mansion, there was no one around me to serve me, so my mother returned Rong'er again.

Although I haven't seen each other for five years, Rong'er still hasn't changed significantly, I've grown up, and she hasn't gotten older.

"Rong'er, you are with your mother, do you know the second son?" I reclined on the head of the bed, thinking very carefully about why Li Shimin had that kind of vicious look when he looked at me.

Rong'er smiled: "Childe has really grown up a lot, and even his behavior and conversation are different from before." ”

I put the teacup in my hand to my mouth, took a sip of tea and said, "This is a trivial matter, can you tell me about Li Shimin?" ”

Rong'er said: "There is nothing special about the second son, but compared with the third son, it is much easier to learn. ”

I thought about it, although the third prince just now, that is, Li Xuanba, was standing with them, he didn't say a word and watched us chat, and he himself hid far away and didn't open his mouth at all.
