Chapter 22: Emperor Ming of the Ages?
Taking advantage of Yang Guang's stunned moment, Li Xuanba opened the door and ran out.
Li Quanzhi's father-in-law and several ministers stood outside the door, Li Xuanba glanced around, and found that he didn't know anyone, so he arched his hand, saluted, and then swaggered away.
"The evil god has returned." Several adults looked at each other, and one of them said, "It's still so rude." ”
The rest of the people nodded very tacitly, gave in humbly, and entered the imperial study one after another. Li Quanzhi closed the door in silence, then put his hands in his sleeves and stood outside the door waiting.
Li Xuanba entered the palace twice, already knew the road, and walked alone under the palace wall without being accompanied.
chatted with Yang Guang for an hour and a half, the snow had stopped for some time, people in the palace came and went, and many footprints were stepped on on the snow. Li Xuanba took a deep breath, and the cold air seeped into his body from Li Xuanba's mouth and nose, making him sober up a little.
"What the hell am I doing?" Li Xuanba patted his head, shook his head and muttered to himself.
On the way to the palace, Li Xuanba thought about how to deal with Yang Guang, but what happened in the imperial study gradually deviated from the track he expected. He behaved too normally, normal enough to read and write like everyone else.
From the dialogue in the imperial study, Li Xuanba felt Yang Guang's love for him, if Yang Guang asked Li Xuanba to study a whim, and become a jinshi or something, then what hope did he have for a squishy life?
"I hope that sentence can divert his attention." Li Xuanba stopped and stopped, tangled all the way, until he walked out of the palace gate and saw the carriage of the Li Mansion, comforted himself, and walked towards the carriage with a smile.
"Uncle Qin, why don't you go into the car to avoid the cold?" Li Xuanba walked to the side of the carriage, and when he saw the coachman Qin Bo curled up on the carriage, he felt a trace of unbearability in his heart, and said with a hint of reproach.
"The old clothes are not clean, and I am afraid that I will stain the carriage." Uncle Qin opened his eyes and said with a smile. Li Xuanba's words made him feel a lot warmer.
"What are you talking about?" Li Xuanba said with a straight face: "I have been going back and forth in the palace for almost two and a half hours, and you have been sitting like this, what if you catch a cold?" ”
Li Zhu closed his eyes in the carriage and heard the conversation between the two, and his heart trembled slightly.
"I'm used to it." Qin Bo still said happily, pointed to a few carriages parked not far away, and whispered: "Childe, you see, other mansions also have this rule, if I enter the carriage, it will make people think that our Tang Guogong Mansion has no rules." ”
"Rules are dead, people are alive." Li Xuanba shook his head and said, "No matter what rules other people's families have, the lord and the lady are not there, what I say is the rules, and I won't be allowed to do this next time." ”
"Got it, got it, it's freezing outside, son, hurry up and get in the car." Qin Bo moved his body and shouted into the carriage: "Li Zhu, help Gongzi get on the car." ”
Li Zhu got out of the carriage and rubbed his eyes, looking like he had just woken up.
"Childe, you're back." Seeing Li Xuanba, Li Zhu said softly, then jumped out of the carriage and helped Li Xuanba into the car.
After entering the carriage and covering it with a soft silk quilt, Li Xuanba shivered comfortably.
"Li Zhu, we have to be kind to the dog in the future." Li Xuanba was half-lying and said, "When I saw Your Majesty today, I realized that it is not easy for a dog to serve me. ”
Li Xuanba's appearance in front of Yang Guang is indeed similar to Li Gou's appearance in front of him.
"Li Gou is indeed not easy." Li Zhu said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm abusing him?" Li Xuanba closed his eyes, paused, and said with a smile: "However, he does have a face that deserves to be bullied. ”
After speaking, both of them laughed, and Qin Bo heard the laughter behind him in front of him, and he also smiled unconsciously.
"Li Zhu, there is no one at this time, I want to ask you a question." After a few laughs, Li Xuanba put away his smile and said calmly.
"It is a great sin to discuss Your Majesty privately." Li Zhu hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said.
"You're a smart man, why bother to say such meaningless things." Li Xuanba opened his eyes and said lightly: "I want to ask you, how do you think future generations will evaluate Your Majesty?" ”
Li Zhu was shocked when he heard this, he only guessed that the question Li Xuanba wanted to ask must be related to His Majesty, but he didn't expect that Li Xuanba actually asked him to evaluate the emperor of the dynasty.
"Your Majesty created a scientific examination, benefited the poor students of the world, opened canals, connected the north and south, built the Great Wall, and defended against Turkic invasions." Li Zhu was silent for a while and said, "These three things alone can make Your Majesty gain the name of Emperor Ming through the ages." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty has done so much, why are there so many thieves?" Li Xuanba sneered and said, "As long as you say what you think, are you still afraid that this son will go to the government to report you?" ”
"Your Majesty is old." Li Zhu sighed, couldn't resist Li Xuanba, and said softly: "Because he is old, His Majesty cares too much about the name of the future generations, and has done some things that are quick for quick success, as for the evaluation of the future generations, which can be said now." ”
"Do you think Your Majesty is a good emperor?" Li Xuanba said word by word.
Li Xuanba's words can be described as heart-wrenching, but after Li Zhu heard it, he replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty is a good emperor for the country and the people." ”
"Alright, that's all there is to it." Li Xuanba raised his hand to stop Li Zhu's words, and said: "Today's conversation with you is just that I am curious for a while, and I ask casually, don't take it to heart, I won't take it to heart, and after getting out of the car, no one will mention it again." ”
"Yes." Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a deep voice.
There was snow on the ground, and the carriage was moving very slowly, and the wheels were crushing against the thick snow, making a creaking sound.
The snow had stopped, and many children appeared on the streets, running in defiance of the cold, and laughter rang out in every street. There were even some naughty children who kneaded a snowball with their hands and threw it towards Li Xuanba's carriage.
After Li Xuanba and Li Zhu finished chatting, they felt much more comfortable, poked their heads out of the window, and smiled at those children.
When those children saw the owner of the carriage poking their heads out and looking so ugly, they scattered in fright, which made Li Xuanba retract his head in embarrassment, shake his head and sigh.
"Childe, I'm home." Qin Bo pulled the reins, stopped the carriage in front of the mansion, and turned around.
When he went out, Li Xuanba hadn't eaten yet, he was already hungry, he answered, got off the carriage with Li Zhu, and said to Uncle Qin: "Uncle Qin, park the car, hurry up and eat something, don't be busy." ”
Qin Bo answered and drove around to the back door.
"I haven't eaten for a day, but I'm really hungry." Li Xuanba touched his stomach and said, "I don't know what the dog has arranged for dinner." ”
Li Zhu knocked on the door, the door opened quickly, the two walked in, went straight to the side hall, only to see Li Gou and a few men, drinking red ears and red ears, a few maids brought some food, eating quietly on the side.
"I tell you, it's really your blessing to have our son." Li Gou took a sip of wine and said, "But there is one thing wrong with the son, that is, he always likes to bully me, if it weren't for the fact that he is the son, hum"
"Li Zhu, I take back what I said today." Li Xuanba said with a dark face.
Li Zhu smiled and nodded, and Li Gou's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
