Chapter 5 Reason

"What are you doing with those things, who made you cast the wrong fetus, if you vote..."

"I'm just talking, do I use it like that?" Cheng San muttered in a low voice.

“…………”

“……”

Li Shen looked at the two yellowed pieces of paper in his hand, pinched them with his hands, and they were so rough that they couldn't be rougher, if they were rubbed on the chrysanthemums, they couldn't be scratched, so he stacked the two pieces of paper and rubbed them, wanting to make them softer.

Looking at the torn paper everywhere in his hand, Li Shen twitched the corners of his mouth, raised his head to look at the two people who were bent over and smiled, and said, "Is this paper?" He didn't have to rub it hard to become like this, I guess if he didn't rub it, wipe it with some force, and the final result would be that the poop would get through the cracks in the paper and get on his hands.

"Uh" The two looked at the paper in Li Shen's hand and froze for a moment.

"Your Highness, there is only this kind of paper here, you should pay attention to it." Wang Xiaoer looked at Li Shen's slightly exaggerated appearance, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, and hurriedly picked up the bamboo piece on the wall, handed it to him carefully, and said, "Your Highness, junior brothers only have this kind of paper here, why don't you use this first, and then wipe it with paper?" ”

Li Shen looked at the bamboo piece in his hand, one side was trimmed into an oval shape, this thing is really used to wipe his buttocks? He said twice, and said to Wang Xiaoer: "Go to those pieces of paper again, speed up." ”

In the rest room of the apse of the Xuanzheng Palace, since the death of Empress Changsun, His Majesty Li Er has basically stayed here under normal circumstances.

Entering the weather in May, even if the earth is not polluted in the slightest, it is still a little hot, the world outside the hall has long been pitch black, and a few red candles are low on a candlestick in the hall, emitting a faint light, lighting up a corner under the screen in the middle of the main hall.

A small purple rectangular table, on which are placed all kinds of songs, on the table is a brush shelf, a sweet-looking palace maid sits on her knees, holding a black ink ingot in her hand and grinding slowly.

The sound of slight footsteps came.

His Majesty Li Er raised his head slightly, looked at Li Zhi who walked in, and put down the fold in his hand.

"Erchen has seen his father." Li Zhi bowed and said.

"Have you seen your eldest brother?" His Majesty Li Er asked, making a look, and the palace maid who was kneeling beside him hurriedly got up, took three steps back, and walked behind the screen.

Seeing that Li Zhi's face was a little sad, he said, "He said you?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head, looked at His Majesty Li Er with hazy eyes, and asked in a choked voice, "Father, why did you become like this?" ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed, he didn't say anything, what could he say? He can only blame himself for being too indulgent to him, the son does not teach his father, and all the responsibility can only be blamed on him, who is a father.

"Father, the son wants to ask why it has become the way it is? Whose fault is it? Li Zhi fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face, and asked in a low voice.

"What did he tell you?" His Majesty Li Er's face turned cold and asked, what a good plan, even his own brothers began to take advantage of it.

"The prince's brother didn't say anything to his son, he only said that he was not to blame for all that happened, and he could only be blamed for giving birth to a ruthless emperor." Li Zhi choked up and said, raised his head to look at His Majesty Li Er, and said, "Father, is it true that you don't even have any family affection when you are among the emperors?" Erchen remembered that when the queen mother died, Erchen was still young, and the prince's brother was ......"

"That's enough." His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand and patted the table with a cold face, staring at Li Zhi with a cold gaze, and said, "Are you blaming Yu Zhen?" Is it the cause of this situation? Or is it the rebel who is encouraging you to come and say this in your ear? ”

Looking at Li Zhi, who was full of tears, he felt very sorry in his heart, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Go down." ”

"Father, do you know? Do you know what the prince's brother and his son said? ”

Looking at His Majesty Li Er, who was silent, Li Zhi continued: "Erchen is also thinking about the meaning of the prince's brother's words along the way, and I feel that what the prince's brother said is also correct, what is the reason for the current situation, it is not the throne." But does that position really have to be that important? ”

"Brother Crown Prince said, Father, you have given the second brother hope, and you have seen the hope of that position, so that he can unscrupulously and blatantly peep into that position, speak disrespectfully to him, and want to suppress everything. The prince's brother said that he knew that his father didn't have this mind, but you did this to... He caused a misunderstanding, it had already been done, and it was useless for him to regret it. The prince's brother said that his mistake was just to choose the wrong way and want to get your attention, and the end result is that the misunderstanding between him and you is getting deeper and deeper, and he is getting more and more ......."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Zhi, who was lying on the ground in pain and weeping, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Is he really saying this to you?" ”

"It's... 's father, woo woo woo~~~ father, the prince's brother is really pitiful. ”

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand and waved, and said lightly: "Go down." I already know. ”

Walked outside the hall, His Majesty Li Er looked at the starry Chang'an City under the night, raised his head and sighed, Li Zhi's words kept echoing in his ears, recalling all kinds of the past, he asked himself if he was sorry Li Chengqian, he was careful to train him since he was a child, in order to one day inherit the unification in the future, even if he made a big mistake, he forgave him, but what about later? What is it for?

Besides, they are all their own children, is it wrong for a father to love his children? Does he have to pour out all his fatherly love to him in order for him to be satisfied?

But I still agreed with Li Shen's words in my heart, being in the royal family, his love is sometimes not something that can be given casually.

"Am I really wrong? Could it all be caused by me? ”

"Your Majesty." Gonggong Yang, who was standing behind him, shouted in a low voice.

His Majesty Li Er sighed, turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Old thing, how many years have you been with me?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been seventeen years, three months and twenty days."

His Majesty Li Er said a few times: "I didn't expect you old thing to remember so clearly." ”

"Your Majesty..."

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more, and said, "Old thing, you have followed me for so many years, am I wrong?" ”

Looking at the silent Yang Gonggong, he shook his head with a wry smile and said in a low voice: "It seems that I am really wrong." ”

"Your Majesty, actually..."

"Let's go, go and see that rebel with me."
