The mother and son sat in the Penglai Hall with wide eyes, Wu Mei couldn't persuade Li Hong to go to the Xuanzheng Palace, and Li Hong's explanation also made his Long Ma still confused.

Although Wu Mei believed that Li Hong's decision would not be wrong, over the years, all of Li Hong's decisions have proved to be right, and even at that time, there was no trace of any trace of the right and hope, and even the seemingly extremely reasonable mechanism without the slightest sign of malpractice was corrected by him very foresight before the signs of malpractice appeared.

is like an immortal who seems to be able to predict anything, many times Li Hong is in her opinion, suddenly inexplicable and unreasonable to do something, it seems that there is no trace and whim, but in the end it is extremely correct.

"Then you're going to keep hiding in my Penglai Palace like this?" Wu Mei stretched out her foot and kicked Li Hong, who was sitting on the opposite side, groggy and about to fall asleep, asked.

"Huh? No, Li Zhe went with Li Dan, and Li Xian, let them try ...... first. Li Hong straightened up, he has been exercising a little too much recently, getting up too early and sleeping too late every day, and he is a little out of spirit.

"Don't expect the two of us, as soon as we entered the Xuanzheng Palace, we were dumbfounded by a few words and ran out in a gray manner." Li Zhe and Li Dan followed behind Wang Lou and walked to Wu Mei's front to salute, looked at Li Hong with a sleepy face and said.

"Sacrificing wine in front of the eunuch? You can't even hold on for half an hour? Those old things guess that if you talk to him for half an hour, they will all be tired and dozing off, right? Why are you inferior to them? Li Hong raised his eyebrows, a little dissatisfied with Li Zhe and Li Dan.

It stands to reason that the two of them are much more familiar with the books of sages than they are, and they can mix up for a while, so that those old guys are out of energy, and they will retreat from the difficulties.

"At the beginning, those had already been returned to Mr., and I said that they did not do what they said, and they believed in it, which is good, and they also said that they had their own opinions, called Weiyan Dayi. Moreover, the distinction of Huayi has now been abandoned by them, and they have begun to talk about the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. In short, my brain hurts when I listen to it, and now people are still a little blindsided. Li Dan complained after sitting down next to Li Hong with Li Zhe.

"I can't even name the twelve texts now, how can I argue with them? People are familiar with the twelve classics of Confucianism, I'm afraid that if I say a word, everyone will know which book it comes from, and how many pages it is. I really can't argue with them, people's beards are curled, their eyes are staring, I don't dare to provoke, in case any of them die because of their words in the Xuanzheng Palace, you can't put all the charges on my head. Li Zhe also shook his head in the face of Li Hong's gaze.

Their current thoughts and attention are not on those books of sages at all, let them debate with those ten-year-old antiques, and people can send them away in a few words.

"I wanted to talk to them about the energy of electricity, why trains can run automatically without horses, the relationship between coal and steam, how heat is converted into kinetic energy, the positive and negative electrodes of electricity, generators, transformers, how coal burns electricity and what is an engine? But people say: the metaphysical is the way, the metaphysical is the instrument, and the so-called gentleman is not a weapon. So....... ”

"God's special gentleman is not a weapon, this is nonsense! That's what a lofty ambition! Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, and there is no technology to take wool to level the world? Li Hongqi stood up from the sofa angrily, but was instantly stunned by his mother and sat back again.

But that Kong Yuan also said, saying: A gentleman is not a weapon, that is, a gentleman will not become a tool of others, and a person who becomes a tool of others is not a gentleman. A gentleman will not be taken advantage of, and a person who is taken advantage of is not a gentleman. He also said that a gentleman should be knowledgeable and have many talents, not just in one aspect. ”

"God's all-rounder! How can there be so many all-rounders in this world, and they are all spoken by mouth? He's a Confucius all-rounder, isn't he? To make some contributions to social development and productivity, what kind of knowledge do you always focus on people? Studying people and studying the way of the metaphysical, can this special thing be eaten as food, or can it fill the stomachs of the common people? When you're full, there's nothing to do, and if you have time to study people, it's better to find the disadvantages of this society, maybe I can still afford them! "The tea that just arrived was brought up and hurriedly put down, it was too hot.

"Why don't you try it?" Li Dan looked at Li Hong so indignant, and said cautiously.

“…… Get lost. If you die in the Xuanzheng Palace, this responsibility can be big or small. Li Hong was deflated, he didn't want to go to the Xuanzheng Hall to face those old antiques.

"Well, what about Li Xian? Is he still ...... yet? ”

"He's probably going to be soon." Li Zhe said lazily: "When those antiques were arguing with the two of us, he didn't say a word, and kept observing ....... ”

"He's doing a good job as a melon-eater." Li Hong muttered.

"The people who eat melons?"

"It's just to watch the excitement."

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, King Pei, please see you." Wang Lou appeared in front of several people again, and after a while, Li Xian's face was also a little embarrassed and walked in uncomfortably.

Looking at the one-armed Li Xian who walked in, Wu Mei suddenly felt a little stunned in her heart, as if time had suddenly returned to a certain scene twenty years ago.

At that time, the emperor was still alive, Li Hong was still the prince, Li Zhe was still the king of England, Li Dan was still sitting on his somewhat wooden King Yin, Li Xian, who was the king of Pei, had not broken an arm, Li Lingyue was like a crazy girl, and he liked to pester the prince Li Hong the most.

Now, her own four sons, after twenty years of twists and turns, have regathered in her Penglai Palace, but now there is no emperor and Li Lingyue, who is married to someone else.

Time flies, as if in a snap of a finger, the princes who were all young princes in the palace at the beginning are now mature and stable princes.

Wu Mei looked at the four brothers sitting opposite, the expressions on everyone's faces were relaxed and natural, and in a trance, that inexplicable warm feeling made her feel as if she was surrounded by a sea called happiness.

recalled that he was deceitful after fighting in the harem, and then recalled that Li Hong secretly went to the cold palace to visit Concubine Xiao Shu, and was chased by himself all over the palace, and his eyes finally stayed on the tea on the table.

It seems that on the surface of the water, there is a small sapling planted by Li Hong and Li Zhi together, and now it has grown into a towering tree standing in front of his Penglai Palace.

Eyes are firmly fixed on the tea, inexplicably in my mind, but it has always been the one at the door of Penglai Palace, the towering tree that I see every day, the growth is still lush and strong, and the branches are luxuriant, especially in summer, or when I am in a bad mood, standing under the big tree, it seems that everything will become relaxed in an instant.

"Water the tree in front of the door." Wu Mei's expression was sudden, and she suddenly said lightly.

"Queen Mother...... You...... What's wrong with you? Li Hong looked at Wu Mei blankly looking at the water surface of the tea in front of him, and asked with some concern.

"It's okay, the queen mother was distracted just now. Wang Lou go quickly and water the tree at the door. Wu Mei raised her head, showed a relieved smile at Li Hong and the other three sons, and then said, "What about Li Lingyue?" Let her come to me at once. ”

The four brothers Li Hong, Li Xian, Li Zhe, and Li Dan looked at Long Ma with some suspicion, and they didn't know how instantly, the expression of the queen mother ...... It seems to have a little more sentimentality.

"When people are old, sometimes they will unconsciously fall into memories, just looking at the four of you, a little ...... I miss your father a little, so find someone to accompany me tomorrow. Wu Mei continued to look at the cup of tea and said lightly.

Li Hong nodded silently, the green silk and white hair on the sideburns of the dragon mother were mixed together, making the white hair particularly dazzling, and unconsciously, Li Hong also had to admit the fact that the dragon mother was really old.

"You go on." Wu Mei picked up the cup of tea, stood up and walked out, and then said to the four brothers.

The four of them nodded silently, and some looked at each other with a smile, and they could only watch Wu Mei, who was not accompanied by them, leave.

"Since the queen mother has something on her mind, you ...... the imperial brother." Li Dan was closest to Li Hong, and stabbed Li Hong's waist and said.

"No need, I'm just going out to breathe, Li Lingyue will come in a while, let someone notify me." Wu Mei, who hadn't walked far, didn't turn around, and said lightly: "Go to the Shangshi Bureau." ”

"Looks like we're in for lunch." Li Hong smiled and said as he looked at the back of the dragon mother leaving.

"Then you can eat with peace of mind? Don't forget, a few old guys in the Xuanzheng Hall are still waiting for you there. Li Xian's ability to pour cold water is growing.

But compared with Li Hong, it is obviously not as ruthless as Li Hong: "You said that the three of you can't even handle a few old antiques?" Or the royal prince! It's a shame for the royal family, so let's do it, tomorrow the three of you will accompany your mother to visit your father, and I'll deal with those old guys. ”

"You? You don't seem to be as good a reader as we are, do you? They are not afraid of the majesty of your emperor, and they even want to die in front of you, and then have a good reputation for their dedication to my Tang Dynasty, which is valuable for them. Li Zhe reminded Li Hong that this Legalist is the most authoritative supporter.

"But no, if you die with them in the Xuanzheng Palace, they really want to die in the court, in this way, the historian's record is enough to make them famous in history, and it can also benefit their children and grandchildren, and even if it is not good, after their rendering, maybe they will label themselves with something related to the royal family or you, in short, they only make money and do not lose money on this deal." Li Xian stood in front of the glass window, behind his one-arm back, looking at the figures of Wu Mei and the others and said.

"Of course I can't." Li Hong smiled confidently, and in the face of the questions of the three of them, he did not sell it, and said: "Jingshi subset, for me, it is not bad to fall asleep and sleep peacefully, as for other effects, I have not found it." I originally wanted to give the three of you princes a chance to show your faces, so that the three of you can prove in front of the world that you are not princes who eat royal meals for nothing, but are all virtuous kings with prestige, talent, and wisdom, but ...... You don't fight for it, so ....... ”

"The three of us can't do it, and you don't dare to go, no, then what else can you do? Who do you think will do? Li Dan was not convinced, compared with a few old antiques in the Xuanzheng Palace, but compared with Li Hong, who had never read a subset of scriptures and histories since he was a child, he was much stronger.

"My imperial concubine, Shangguan Wan'er!" Li Hong's expression was somewhat conspicuous, but after Shangguan Wan'er's four words came out, Li Dan and the other three also completely shut up and no longer doubted.

Indeed, compared to the subset of scriptures and history, the familiarity and understanding of the classics of the sages and sages, even if the four of them are tied together, it is not enough for Shangguan Wan'er to watch it alone.
