Where the little yellow father-in-law took Wei Yan, Wei Yan turned his head and looked, it was the place where Hou Junji's army was stationed that day, Wei Yan stayed not far from here for so long, he was familiar with every grass and tree here, and he knew where he was at a glance. His Majesty Li Er stood with his hands behind his back and looked into the distance, while Hou Junji and Li Ji stood behind him. After not seeing him for a few days, Hou Junji seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his expression was gloomy and committed, more embarrassed than a defeated rooster. Wei Yan walked over and saluted: "Your Majesty." ”

"Excuse me, this is not the Taiji Palace, so you don't need to be so polite."

His Majesty Li Er turned around and said to Wei Yan, and after Wei Yan saluted His Majesty Li Er, he greeted Li Ji again: "Uncle Li." ”

Li Ji scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, he disappeared after he went home, and he only knew that he was nesting at home all day long." ”

Wei Yan smiled and said, "Isn't this just returning from an adventure?" When I went home, I was treated as a baby, ashamed and ashamed. ”

The uncle and nephew said a few homely words, and Wei Yan consciously stood next to Li Ji, but he was careful not to greet Hou Junji, and directly ignored Ya's existence. Anyway, the hostile relationship between the two of them, everyone present knows it, and there is no need to be hypocritical, and it is better to be realistic.

"Today, I called the three of you, do you know the intention?"

Li Ji and Hou Junji bowed their heads and were silent, and Wei Yan also bowed his head and was silent. His Majesty Li Er sighed, fell silent, turned his back, and began to look into the distance again. His Majesty Li Er was silent, and the three of them didn't dare to say anything, so they silently accompanied the station, and Wei Yan secretly enjoyed himself behind him - standing together, talking, and thinking, the three escorts in the new era.

"Junji, I've always wanted to ask you, why? Why rebel? The time you have been with me is not short. When I was the king of Qin, you were already in the palace of the king of Qin, why is it that now I have become the emperor, the master of the world, we have already survived, it is the time to create a meritorious career, you chose to rebel, tell me, why is this? I have cultivated you with great pain. Don't you realize it? ”

His Majesty Li Er said these words with heartache, and the pain and pity in his eyes were painful. It was clearly visible that Hou Junji was ashamed for a while, and regardless of the uneven ground, he knelt down: "Your Majesty, it's a criminal minister I'm sorry Your Majesty." Failed His Majesty's expectations, the guilty minister died without regrets, please give the minister the death penalty. ”

His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Capital crime?!" You're dead. How can I say that I have spent so much effort and the brotherhood I have paid? I have been born and died with you and Li Ji for so many years, how can I say all this? Can it be wiped out as soon as you die? ”

Hou Junji couldn't say anything. It's just that he knelt down with a ashamed expression: "Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, please give your Majesty the guilt." ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and motioned for him to get up, but Hou Junji was still kneeling upright, embarrassed to get up, as if he was kneeling like this. in order to make his heart feel better.

His Majesty Li Er said abruptly: "I trust you. Donggong Qianniu, who chose your son-in-law as the crown prince, how did your good son-in-law repay my trust? I'm a good prince. I almost became a cripple, if it wasn't for Wei Yan's proper handling, my face, the royal face would have been lost! Cheng Qian...... Now Cheng Qian, now the Cheng Qian, who is praised by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, also has most of the credit for Wei Yan's training, so what is wrong with me believing in him? Wei Yan has a fist and a child's heart, towards me, towards the prince, towards all the people he is willing to care about, such a person is by my side, where is it hindering you? Yes? Can't I have a caring junior by my side? ”

His Majesty Li Er's words, facing obviously not Hou Junji alone, but all the grievances were gathered at Hou Jun. Wei Yan lowered his head, stood silently, said in his heart that he was not moved, it was a lie, the feeling in his heart was very complicated, there were grievances, moved, gratified, happy, and rewarded, it was really the most beautiful thing in the world.

After a pause, His Majesty Li Er continued: "I have sent you to lead the troops to fight again and again, don't I declare to you that I trust and value you? Why do you repeatedly live up to my expectations, ignore my reminders to you again and again, and embarrass me again and again? ”

Hou Junji couldn't help but cry, and cried: "Your Majesty, it's the minister who is sorry for Your Majesty, the minister deserves to die, the minister is guilty, it's the minister himself who thinks wrong, misunderstands Your Majesty, and betrays Your Majesty's trust!" Whining...... Your Majesty, damn it! ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed again: "Let's go, now the mistake has been cast, the wood has been completed, and it is irretrievable, Junji, I look at the past situation, I don't even connect the nine clans, and keep a trace of blood for your Hou family, can you be convinced?" ”

Hou Junji's face was full of tears, and he kowtowed sincerely to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty's kindness to Weichen, even if the minister is a cow and a horse in the next life, he can't repay it in case, the minister has no dissatisfaction in his heart, only gratitude to His Majesty, and repay Your Majesty in the next life." ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, turned to Li Ji and Wei Yan, and said, "Li Ji and Wei Yan, have you ever heard the promise I made?" ”

Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, the minister has heard that he will not embarrass the orphans and widows of the Hou Mansion in the future. ”

Wei Yan also said: "Your Majesty, from the beginning to the present, the ministers have been bullied for what they have done, as long as the Hou Mansion does not come to me for trouble, I am also happy for everyone to get along in peace, multiple friends are better than multiple enemies." ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "Li Ji has always had clear grievances and kept his promises, I believe that he can do what he says, Wei Yan, you slippery boy, you still can't speak clearly, you know to leave a way back for yourself, isn't my guarantee effective?" ”

Wei Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty has made a guarantee, and the minister has nothing to say here, listen to it, isn't there a sentence to say?" said that he listened to His Majesty's words, followed the court, and ran towards a beautiful new life. ”

"Flim Flam!"

His Majesty Li Er scolded slightly, and then laughed, and after laughing, he turned to Hou Junji and said, "Did you hear me?" Relieved? ”

Hou Junji said peacefully: "Your Majesty, the minister is relieved, and he can leave with peace of mind, after the minister leaves, Your Majesty should not worry about the guilty minister, the guilty minister can't afford it, and the minister is under Jiuquan." I will also pray day and night, praying for the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty's health and health, Your Majesty, the minister has bid you farewell! ”

Hou Junji "bang bang bang" came to a grand ceremony of three kneels and nine knocks, there were tears in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face, his expression was peaceful, and he seemed to have no regrets. His Majesty Li Er didn't stop him this time. After receiving his three kneels and nine knocks, his eyes were slightly wet, and he waved his hand to ask someone to take Hou Junji down. He muttered to himself, "Go all the way." ”

This time, it is the last time that the two monarchs and ministers meet, and after returning to Beijing, Hou Junji will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial and beheaded on a certain day. Just like His Majesty Li Er said, the wood has been completed, and it is a big crime for Hou Jun to commit a crime. Spare his young son, that is the special kindness of His Majesty Li Er, but the national law is ruthless, and Hou Junji cannot be pardoned.

After Hou Junji was taken down. His Majesty Li Er seemed to take some time to calm down, and said to Li Ji: "In the future, you don't have to worry about the safety of the Wei Yan boy, after this time, I believe that no one dares to mess around again, and no one will mess around." ”

Wei Yan smiled and didn't speak, but Li Ji glanced at Wei Yan. The expression is very kind. Said: "Your Majesty, just as Your Majesty said." When I get old, it's not easy to have a caring junior, those little beasts in my family, it's a blessing not to make my old man unhappy, like Shiro is so intimate, almost nothing, this stinky boy, both worrying and comfortable, it really hurts and hates him, can talk to a few of our old men, and can also play with the little hairy heads, such a stinky boy, how can people bear to let him be wronged? The two of them have no relatives in our Tang Dynasty, except for a few of us who are old, they can still show them a little, and they have no place to talk about being bullied and wronged, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood. Fortunately, the stinky boy is not a virtue that likes to cause trouble, it is quite a rule, and it makes people worry a lot, this time, he was also forced to be anxious, and the minister had to use a little thought, and if it was inappropriate, please forgive your majesty. ”

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Wei Yan, saw that he was stuffy and didn't speak, stretched out his foot and kicked him, and said, "Did you hear what your Uncle Li said?" ”

Wei Yan said: "I heard it, and I remembered it all in my heart." ”

The voice is somewhat transposed, slightly nasal. His Majesty Li Er and Li Ji glanced at each other, His Majesty Li Er shook his head with a smile, Li Ji scolded with a smile "Stinky boy who has no interest", Wei Ji smirked, raised his head, and could see that his eyes were red.

After saying a few words, Li Ji retreated with a very good look, leaving only His Majesty Li Er and Wei Yan standing there. His Majesty Li Er smiled and looked at Wei Yan's red eyes, sighed for a long time, and said, "I have wronged you." ”

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, in fact, under the care of your uncles and Your Majesty, I didn't suffer any big grievances, that is, I suffered a few cold eyes, listened to a few cold words, and I won't lose a piece of meat, if you want to say it, just say it, I won't go to my heart." ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "You say so, I believe that you must not care, if you put trivial things in your heart, you will not live such a happy life like you, the heart is broad, people who have their own heaven and earth, can be as leisurely as you, such blessings, but I don't have it." ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a busy, capable, and great man, and the minister is a small common man, this is the difference, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." ”

His Majesty Li Er repeated Wei Yandi's words, and nodded with a smile: "That's true, the more you want, the more you pay, if I want this world, I have to fight the world, I have to manage the world that I get, and I have to bear the world." ”

Wei Yan listened with a smile and didn't answer. His Majesty Li Er finished sighing, and suddenly changed the topic: "Why did Yuanchang kidnap you, I don't know the reason in my heart, right?" ”

Wei Yan nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, I really don't know, I don't understand if I want to break my head, does Your Majesty want to tell Weichen the reason?" That's really thank you, Your Majesty, grateful, after returning to the capital, Weichen personally cooked, please Your Majesty rubbed it to express your gratitude. ”

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "It's good to play the ground, I told you what you always want to know, you can have a meal, okay...... Too insincere? ”

Khan, at this time, there is still empty talk about conditions, isn't this deliberately appealing? It's so bad to despise! Resolutely despised.

It is estimated that he was quite happy to see Wei Yan's sullen expression, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but smile faintly, no longer looked at Wei Yan, but looked into the distance, and said in a light tone: "When our Li family had not yet started an incident, there were several brothers in our Li family, and there was a little brother, named Zhiyun, who was born to Concubine Wan, the youngest, and the audience was loved by brothers, and when the incident happened, he was only fourteen years old and died in the chaos. After Zhiyun's death, Concubine Wan was too sad and no longer cared about the affairs of the palace, Zhang and Yin's second concubines were favored by the emperor and took advantage of the situation. As a general, I am accustomed to the seriousness of the army, but they are familiar with Jiancheng and Yuanji, who have been in Beijing all the year round, and are afraid of me. ”

Wei Yan knew this period of history, it was probably the most depressing period in His Majesty Li Er's life, he worked hard to lead the troops to fight outside, and fought the world for his father, and his father still listened to the pillow wind of the concubines and concubines, and did not wait to see him. When you need to employ people in war, you know how to find Li Shimin, and when you don't need it, you listen to others and criticize him again and again. As long as it is an individual, who will not have resentment in their hearts when faced with this situation? There will be! What's more, it's still a person with a temperament like His Majesty Li Er. Speaking of the ancestor Li Yuan, His Majesty Li Er seemed to have some resentment in his heart.

Wei Yan listened silently, and he didn't know how to answer, and he didn't even dare to answer, this is a royal secret, although he has heard a lot, but these old things are related to the former emperor and the king of Xi Li Jiancheng, it seems to be a not very good topic, Wei Yan is completely dumbfounded, I don't know why Li Yuanchang's matter can be pulled to Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, and His Majesty Li Er is too good to digress, right?

His Majesty Li Er said: "Back then, when I was not in power, the concubines in the palace were instigated by Jiancheng and Yuanji, and said that my father and emperor were harsh on me in every way, I led the troops outside, and Guanyin, Chengqian and others at home suffered a lot of grievances, Guanyin was flexible, even if she was wronged, she would not say it to me, but how could I not understand!" Those despicable villains did unfortunate things when I was not in power, and after I gained power, I was uneasy, and I didn't dare to face me, I didn't dare to face the queen! ”
