Chapter 180: Chang'an is far away
Chang'an City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This place has begun to warm up, the breath of spring is approaching this huge and prosperous city, and the moss on the road is also beginning to emerge, a layer of green, people can't help but want to stop and take a deep breath, take a closer look.
The willows on the shore of Tongming Lake also emit green scatters, and the strong spring mood is hidden in the breeze, although it is a little cold, but you can always feel the breath of spring.
Today, Chang'an City is very lively, the people are talking and laughing about the victory of the Southern Wilderness, the Ascending Evil Clan has returned to the Tang Dynasty, the war has been pacified, and General Pei Min and Li Zhi, the King of Jin, have returned triumphantly.
In the Taiji Palace, all the ministers were discussing the peaceful solution of the Southern Wilderness problem this time, Li Zhi and Pei Min. Most of the praise and praise, of course, there are also people talking about Meng Yu.
Fang Xuanling stood there energetically, looking coldly at the eldest grandson Wuji on the side, with a look of mockery on his face.
"Haha! How is it? You old fellow, you still said that Mencius Ran's plan was an expedient measure for the small family, but now you feel red-faced and red-faced? ”
"Hey! Some people! It's especially easy to be jealous of others, how old you are, and you're still competing with a child, it's really sad! ”
Fang Xuanling was unforgiving, mocked, and said with a smile: "Old guy, I came today to ask Your Majesty to resign, I am going to resign from the government to retire for a long time, you should also make plans early......!" ”
After speaking, Fang Xuanling stood aside with a serious face, waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.
This old fellow......
"Hey!" The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and muttered: "After all, he is powerless, and the old guy can be regarded as doing his best for the Tang Dynasty, but he has never had the idea of resigning, and this time he suddenly mentioned it, I'm afraid he is really going to resign......"
However, he certainly wouldn't have such thoughts himself, so who made him resign? Belch...... Don't... It was that Mencius again??? ”
"Won't you...... How peculiar that stinky boy is to come up with such an idea... What's even more amazing is that Fang Xuanling, the old guy, also agreed!! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling and smiled, and finally shook his head and smiled: "It's really changed a lot, you all know to mock me, the original words are generally stuffy......"
He was shocked that Meng Yu had changed Fang Xuanling a lot, but more of a loss, after all, if Fang Xuanling resigned and went home, he would have one less person in the court, and he would be much lonelier.
However, Fang Xuanling wants to resign, which cannot be stopped, except for Li Shimin, no one can accuse him or not let him resign. This is because he has contributed too much to Datang, and now that he is old, who can bear to take a copy of him?
Soon...
Li Shimin slowly walked forward, sat on the magnificent dragon chair, looked at his courtiers with closed eyes, and showed a rare smile, but his face was even paler, and he had to cough from time to time, which made the courtiers in the palace feel heartache.
Li Shimin has been pretending, although the early dynasty is as usual, but in order not to let people see the flaws, knowing that he is pretending, he will generally retire from the dynasty soon, and then return to his dormitory, lying in bed to deal with government affairs.
Except for Meng Yu and Sun Simiao, who knew about his pretending to be sick, everyone else was kept in the dark, thinking that he would not survive this year and would die before the winter solstice.
"Ahem... Ladies and gentlemen, now that the turmoil in the Southern Wilderness has been calmed down, although there are still some casualties, but that is the so-called that others want to provoke a war, in general, this time the problem of the Southern Wilderness was resolved peacefully, and both Pei Min and Zhinu had the credit......"
Li Shimin coughed a few times and hurriedly said, "Cough...... Come on, announce them into the temple! ”
The eunuch on the side began to shout, passing on his message, and then the entire Taiji Palace slowly sounded the sound of transmission, one after another, the sound became smaller and farther and farther away.
After a while, Pei Min and Li Zhicai walked into the hall, knelt on the ground respectfully, and waited calmly.
They were the ministers of the expedition, and if they hadn't been summoned by the Yellow Emperor, they wouldn't even have a chance to enter the court, so they could only wait in front of the Suzaku Gate in the palace until His Majesty summoned them.
"Aiqing, hurry up... Ahem..."
"Now that the Southern Wilderness has been decided, and it has not caused too many casualties, it can be regarded as a withdrawal of my Datang's tolerance and my benevolence, you have done a good job, you have made great contributions, what reward do you want?"
Li Shimin smiled, quickly picked up the tea presented by the maid on the side, and took a sip slowly to clear the discomfort in his throat.
Li Zhi's was obviously darker, and that resolute temperament gradually emerged, and he looked at his father who was sitting on the dragon chair with a heroic face, and his face was solemn.
"Father, since the son of the Tang Dynasty is a member of the Tang Dynasty and a prince of the royal family, he should have the world in his heart and the Tang Dynasty in his heart, this matter is within my responsibility, and I dare not receive the reward!"
Li Zhi got up, arched his hand and said: "If my father can reduce Jiaozhou's taxes for a year, my sons will not be very grateful!" ”
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and they all laughed and said: "King Jin is benevolent!" ”
After speaking, Qi Qi bowed his hands.
"Oh? Child, do you think this for yourself? Li Shimin was stunned and couldn't help but wonder.
Father and son looked at each other.
"Yes!" Li Zhi said respectfully: "When Mr. was here, he often said that I was born as a prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I should not think about my own comfort, but also consider the suffering of the people of Li, and the young slave remembered it in my heart and did not dare to forget it!" ”
"The teachings of the gentleman are that those who are in high positions should seek benefits for those of humble status, and if they can't do even that, then what's the point of being in a high position?"
"Although Mr. is now far away in Goguryeo, he will always return to Chang'an, if the child slave violates his teachings and becomes his disciple in vain!"
Silent.
Everyone looked at Li Zhi, who was already eight years old, in shock, all of them were ashamed, even the eldest grandson Wuji felt that his old face couldn't hang up, only Fang Xuanling looked at him with a smile.
Fang Xuanling stroked his mustache and muttered, "Fools can be taught!" Ziran, you kid really didn't look at the wrong person, and the way of being a teacher can be regarded as a three-point experience! ”
Li Zhi is so sensible and so well-behaved, which makes Fang Xuanling very happy, after all, Li Zhi is also his apprentice.
"Good!"
"Yes, very!"
Li Shimin found out, couldn't help coughing, and said, "Ahem... Child, you have a heart, and I have granted your request! ”
"So...... Pei Qing, what are your requirements? ”
………
Pei Min was stunned for a moment, his face was solemn, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, the minister should not have wanted any reward, but the minister promised a girl that he would marry His Majesty when he came back this time, so the minister begged His Majesty to marry Yurong to me!" ”
It's silent again!
Pei Min was stunned for a moment, and said again: "I beg Your Majesty!" ”
