Chapter 32: What Should Come Is Still Here
"The old minister meets the emperor!" The eldest grandson Wuji knelt in front of Li Er, the whole person was straight like a poplar on the side of the road, wearing a purple robe, and rubbing the dust on the ground at this time. He wore a black crown on his head, and his gray hair was bound by a hat, only a small part of it was visible at the brim. This time, his intention was so clear, that is, to mention the marriage between Li Lizhen and Changsun Chong again.
"Auxiliary, why is that?" It's no longer a formal occasion, or even an occasion that pays attention to etiquette such as sacrificing to the sky or spring, most of the eldest grandson Wuji bowed when he saw Li Er, but now he actually knelt, such etiquette can be said to be important.
"Your Majesty, this time, the old minister has a reluctant request, that is, the marriage between the dog and Princess Changle, I hope that Your Majesty will make a decree!" The eldest grandson Wuji was outspoken, he knew Li Er too well, and knew that at this time, whether it was tactful advice or other ways, it was not as good as being straightforward. Because the most important thing in the Tang Dynasty these days is the imperial examination, and the first champion of the first imperial examination is now Li Er's heart occupies a special position, and it happens that this champion is his son, so the probability of success directly proposed is the greatest.
"Eldest Sun Aiqing, I didn't expect you to bring up this matter again at this time, yes, the matter between Changle and Chong'er should be broken, but Eldest Sun Aiqing, have you ever thought about how to face my second son?" Li was not the slightest surprised by the request of the eldest grandson Wuji, because the eldest grandson Wuji has been planning this matter for all these years, and it can be said that he has invested countless efforts, and it is strange that he can let it go. But Li Er was still a little worried about Li Kuan's attitude. This kid is really a stubborn temper, if it comes to the extreme. Everything is done. It's really an unpleasant thing to jump out of a disturbance at this festive time.
"陛xià. The old minister already has an idea about this matter, but he needs some cooperation. "The eldest grandson Wuji is scheming, he has already thought of a way to deal with it, but this is a bit despicable, but compared to the goal he wants to achieve, these things can only be regarded as subtle details, and this is also good enough for Datang, Li Er will definitely agree.
"What fit? I'll hear it first! Li Er didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji would actually come up with a countermeasure, and he couldn't help but be interested. But after hearing the method that Eldest Sun Wuji said, Li Er's face became gloomy, he didn't expect the distribution that Eldest Sun Wuji came up with was actually like this......
"I can't agree to this, eldest grandson Aiqing, how can you have such an idea, have you ever thought about Changle's feelings? If the King of Chu finally learns the truth, then you and him will really become an undying hostile relationship, and there is nothing to talk about! Li Er shook his head and denied. I never thought that the eldest grandson Wuji would actually use that way to achieve his goal, of course, this matter is also due to the difference in the angle from which the two stand to have such a disagreement.
"陛xià. This matter will not shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, as long as this matter is not known to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and we don't need to make too much preparation for this matter, as long as Princess Changle is willing. And this matter is a win-win relationship, if the expected purpose of this matter is achieved, then Datang will become more stable. And through this matter, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will also become more mature. In the future, the three armies of the Tang Dynasty can really be inherited, and now the generals of the older generation have almost reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. If there are no more outstanding generals in the younger generation. The three armies of the Tang Dynasty are about to face a situation of lack of success. I'm afraid it's ...... like that," Eldest Sun Wuji analyzed.
"Stop, stop...... Rong Zhen think about it! Li Er's mind was already a chaotic paste at this time, many things needed to be weighed, and many things needed to be considered, which was also a skill that an emperor needed to be proficient in, because there were so many things that happened every day in the entire empire that they were like stars in the sky, and a mishandled situation would be a great loss to the entire empire. But some things are not so easy to weigh, just like now if Changle Princess Li Lizhi is willing, then it will be much easier for Li Kuan, the king of Chu, to do it, after all, he is still a young man who has not yet reached the crown, although this qiē has some right to speak, but it is not a decisive force, and the position is not the most appropriate, after all, Changle still has parents, and he is just a half-brother who is really not the most important relative.
"Eldest grandson Aiqing, go down! Think about it first! Li Er thought about it for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind, so let the eldest grandson Wuji leave first, he had to discuss it with the eldest grandson queen, and even needed to ask Li Lizhen's opinion.
"The old minister retires!" Eldest Sun Wuji didn't say anything, he knew that there was only so much he could do, and the rest was up to Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun to decide, after all, there was still a difference between monarchs and ministers, and Eldest Sun Wuji was very good at abiding by this. No one can single out him in this regard, even if he has become an idle nobleman who only has a title and no authority at the beginning for so many years, he has become the chief assistant of the dynasty - Shangshu Zuo Pu Shot, which can be said to be the status above tens of thousands of people under one person, but he still guards this most important bottom line, which is also the reason why he can get Li Er's unreserved trust, the eldest grandson Wuji slowly got up, and he has been kneeling in front of Li Er during this time, Even though Li Er thought about it just now, it took him almost half an hour, and he still knelt there straight and straight.
"Good skills, but if you want to leave like this, this king won't agree!" In the mansion of the King of Chu across the wall of the East Palace, Li Kuan was chasing and killing the dark one with a spear in his hand, the sound of the spear waving and whining kept coming out, the palm of his hand vibrated the barrel of the gun, and the bright spear flowers were like cold plums constantly stabbing forward. The whole person walked with the gun, and in the back like a powerful bulldozer, destroying everything around him.
"I didn't expect King Chu to be so skilled, so don't blame this seat for using a trick!" The dark one in front was very depressed when he was chased and killed by Li Kuan at this time, seeing that Li Kuan was so strong, he didn't even want to ask him for the slightest intention, he simply wanted to fight directly for his life, and he was also angry in his heart. Suddenly, he no longer kept it, only to see a wisp of silver flashing in his palm, and then the sleeves were the same, the big sleeves fluttered like a dark cloud covering the top, covering up behind him, in this dark cloud, a deadly fluorescence was so dazzling.
"Good time!" Li Kuan's spear shook, and stabbed straight out of front like this, the cold light on the tip of the spear shone, without the slightest fancy, just like that, a straight stab, a little cold light met the light.
"Ding ......" A piercing sound came, and Li Kuan felt a huge force coming from the spear in his hand: "This is the ......" Li Kuan was very surprised, he didn't expect that a small steel needle would contain such a powerful force, compared to the strength of the five-stone strong bow shot out of the trance, this is really something that can be done with a pair of palms? If instead of using a steel needle, but a throwing knife, would the strength exerted by the person in front of him be comparable to the siege weapon Eight Bull Crossbow?
The strong force made Li Kuan's momentum of pursuing forward slow, and the person in front of him was like a black streamer at this moment, and he had already run away in a few flashes between the treetops, and he was already unable to catch up at this time.
"It seems that I am still a little far from these so-called grandmasters!" Li Kuan shook his head, he naturally knew the person in front of him, but he just pretended not to know, and then directly tested what level his strength had reached. It's just that Li Kuan didn't expect that the moment that Dark One swung out at the end was his final life-saving move, and even in the previous Turkic battle, the Turkic grandmaster suffered a big loss under this move before he and another person were defeated and killed.
The autumn rain was murmuring, and it rained overnight. As the last of the summer heat falls, autumn is approaching, the leaves on the trees begin to turn yellow, the red maples begin to change their color, and migratory birds migrating south appear in the sky. This autumn Datang has changed a lot, the eldest grandson Chong rode a high-headed horse in the streets of Chang'an City a few days ago, many people want to watch the monkey show like a monkey show, the people don't know what the champion is, but they know that these guys who ride horses on the street will be the masters of the officials in the future. So a lot of people are in awe of them. Changsun Chong also enjoyed this feeling, and he felt that compared to the current life, the previous life was really a bit ridiculous.
Outside the East Palace, the luxurious mansion looks deserted, and next to the artificial lake in the courtyard, two red maples are waving in the wind. The cicadas on the trees are calling unscrupulously at this last hour, this is their last season, and the cold dew is coming, these insects with a lifespan of only half a month will be a complete stunt, and the earth will usher in the season of snow, at that time the earth is covered with endless ice and snow, and the frozen ground and the temperature of the drops of water into ice will be the strict restrictions of these insects that have been lurking under the yellow spring for several years. Li Kuan was carrying a small bamboo basket and digging under the two maple trees on the edge of the lake.
Wearing a short shirt and holding a small shovel in his hand, the whole person squatted on the ground, gently digging up the floating soil on the surface, and then carefully searched the small cave. At this time, under the surface of the earth, there is the last wave of cicada larvae to break out of the ground, and in the golden autumn season, these autumn cicadas are about to suck white dew, drink yellow springs at dusk, and complete the last journey of life. But by this little lake, these noble insects could not wait for that day to come, because a great wave of gluttonous insects was about to deal with them.
It rained lightly last night, and the whole surface was already wet, just in time for these cicadas to crawl out of the ground and retreat. This also gave Li Kuan a good opportunity, that is, to look for the raised floating soil on the ground, where there are most of the larvae of cicadas, which is a very delicious food.
During this period of time, Li Kuan's body was almost rusty, but during this time, his heart seemed to be a lot calmer, and it could even be said that he was not happy, and he was thinking about how to really promote to the realm of a grandmaster. (To be continued......)
