Chapter 12: I'm Not a Reckless Man Anymore!
Li Xuanba's first family banquet after waking up, there was a feeling of unhappiness and parting, whether it was Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng, in Li Xuanba's eyes, they were just strangers who met for the first time, and they couldn't talk about any feelings, and naturally there would be no scene of crying and weeping. And Li Yuan, as Li Xuanba's father, is also a hero, how can he cry in front of everyone? As for Li Jiancheng and others, they came all the way back to the family banquet, just to make a scene.
The princess, Wan's family, and Li Yuan left one after another, and the sons of the Li Mansion had nothing to say in the embarrassed laughter, and exchanged a few polite words, then said that it was getting late, and they went back to their rooms to rest.
Soon Li Xuanba was the only one left in the lobby, he glanced at the food on the table, almost did not touch it, and saw that it was a pity to fall down, so he returned to his seat and sat down, eating alone. The subordinates who were about to clean up the mess stood aside quietly, some didn't understand what the three sons were thinking, why did they still have time to eat at this time?
After the meal was full, Li Xuanba relaxed his waist, smiled at the subordinate who had been waiting for a long time, said that he had worked hard, and went to find Li Yuan.
Wan Shi and Li Zhiyun were talking in the room, and Li Yuan was waiting for Li Xuanba in the study very interestingly.
When he came to the study, Li Xuanba knocked on the door, Li Yuan only said the word "enter", but Li Xuanba could feel that when Li Yuan said this word, his voice trembled slightly.
"Daddy." Pushing the door in, Li Xuanba bowed.
Li Yuan's cold and thin face showed a hint of a smile, and motioned for Li Xuanba to sit beside him, Li Xuanba did not hesitate at all, moved a chair, and sat on Li Yuan's left hand side.
At dinner, as soon as Li Xuanba entered the lobby, he could see from everyone's expressions that only Li Yuan really cared about him, but because of the occasion, he didn't show it.
Li Xuan was originally an orphan, and he could only call him uncle and aunt for the couple who were best to him, but now he has become Li Xuanba, with one more pair of parents, and they are parents who really treat him well, how can Li Xuanba not be moved? Although Li Xuanba is only sixteen years old, Li Xuan is already twenty-four years old, and although his experience is not rich, he can also get a glimpse of people's hearts.
Another point, Li Xuanba vaguely remembers that Li Yuan, who is recorded in history, is indeed a father who loves his children very much.
"You're going to Luoyang with the princess tomorrow, are you ready?" Li Yuan was holding a book in his right hand, his eyes also fell on the book, and he asked a question seemingly extremely casually.
"I've completely forgotten about the past, what else is there to prepare?" Li Xuanba replied with a smile.
Seeing Li Xuanba's indifferent appearance, Li Yuan felt a cramp in his heart, and the contradiction between him and the people of the world made Li Xuanba change from the strongest man in the Great Sui to the powerless now, and he, as a father, must still hide from Li Xuanba.
"Yes, you can't remember anything before." Li Yuan didn't show the emotions in his heart, and still said in a calm to indifferent tone: "No matter what His Majesty asks you, you have to remember this sentence." ”
"The child understands." Li Xuanba didn't mind Li Yuan's calf protection, he said: "In Your Majesty's will, only my illness is mentioned, and it must be my father's handiwork, since my father doesn't want the eldest brother to be implicated, the child will naturally not rebel against his father." ”
When Li Yuan heard this, he took his eyes away from the book, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and stared at Li Xuanba tightly, Li Xuanba's face maintained a kind smile, but Li Yuan's heart suddenly sank for some reason.
After a long time, Li Yuan sighed and said: "In the letter that your mother gave me, she said that you not only woke up, but also became very smart, I still didn't believe it, but now it seems that you are more intelligent than your mother said." Li Yuan paused, put the book down, turned around a little, and continued: "No matter what you think in your heart, my father hopes that you will forget about it. ”
"Dad, the child didn't say these words because he had any intentions." Li Xuanba shook his head with a smile and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Luoyang, before leaving, I want to reassure you that the child is no longer the reckless man who doesn't kneel in the face of the saint." ”
Li Yuan's mood eased slightly, and he returned to a calm tone, and said: "It's good that you know, Your Majesty used to value you because you were brave and unscheming, and you relieved the siege of Luoyang, and now although you are no different from ordinary people, after all, you have lost your strength, and when you see Your Majesty, you need to call yourself a grass people, and ask Your Majesty to remove your name of loyalty and bravery." ”
The imperial court did not have the position of Zhongyongwei, but Yang Guang cherished his talent and wanted to recruit Li Xuanba under his command, but Li Xuanba was intellectually impaired and his face was unbearable, so he could not assign an official position at all, so he thought of the post of Zhongyongwei. The loyal and brave guards don't have to kneel, they are not under the jurisdiction of the three provinces and six ministries, and they don't have fiefs, let alone a single soldier, to put it bluntly, it is the position that Yang Guang arbitrarily sealed in order to make Li Xuanba happy.
However, even if Yang Guang did it casually, no one dared to despise the position of Zhongyongwei, who else in the world could meet the monarch without kneeling? This shows that in Yang Guang's heart, he still attaches great importance to Li Xuanba.
"Children are improvised." Li Xuanba said: "What else does my father command? ”
Although Li Yuan knew that after Li Xuanba experienced that incident, he had been blessed by misfortune and became very intelligent, but he was still a little uneasy, but his thoughts were a little confused for a while, and he didn't know where to start.
"The night is still long, you have something to say slowly." Li Xuanba knew that Li Yuan had already believed that he would not annoy His Majesty, and returned to the appearance of a hippie smile.
"You have to get up early tomorrow, so you can go back and rest early." Li Yuan thought for a while, but finally didn't say anything. Li Xuanba saw Li Yuan's tired face, thinking that he had rushed all the way back to the Li Mansion, he must not have had a good rest, and he couldn't bear it, so he bowed and withdrew from the study.
Li Yuan sat quietly in the study, thinking about many things in his mind, and he didn't have the heart to go back to his room to sleep.
"Master, it's late at night, why haven't you come back to the house?" Wan and Li Zhiyun chatted for a long time, and after Li Zhiyun left, Wan saw that Li Yuan had not come back for a long time, so he got up and came to the study.
"I don't think this kid is like my anymore." Li Yuan saw that it was Wan's family, his tense face relaxed, and he said with a mixture of gains and losses.
"I think it's good that Xuanba is like this now." Wan walked behind Li Yuan and rubbed his shoulders for Li Yuan.
"I had a lot to say, and I talked to him for a while, but I found that what I wanted to say, he had already thought about it." With a hint of self-deprecation, Li Yuan said with a wry smile: "If we were just ordinary people, Xuanba would become like this, I would naturally be happy." ”
"Could it be that Xuanba has become like this, what other disadvantages are there?" Wan wondered.
"At the beginning, Your Majesty listened to the words of the demon and wantonly slaughtered the courtiers surnamed Li, and others only escaped because I had some relationship with Your Majesty, but I don't know that I, Li Yuan, including the descendants of the Li family, were saved from His Majesty's butcher's knife because of Xuanba." Li Yuan let out a long sigh and said, "I'm afraid even you don't know about this matter, right?" ”
Wan shook her head, she really didn't know the inside story.
"This is what a father-in-law beside His Majesty said, and it must not be false." Li Yuan looked at the night outside the house, sighed again, and said, "But I didn't expect them to treat Xuanba like this, they are really good brothers!" ”
Wan didn't say a word, stroking Li Yuan's back, worried that he would hurt his body. Li Yuan held Wan's hand with his backhand, and when he looked back, he saw a tear in the corner of Wan's eye, hidden under his long eyelashes, looming.
The husband and wife clasped their hands tightly together and hugged each other without saying a word.
