Chapter Thirty-Eight: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
"Father! The second brother has been out on the expedition for a year this time, and now he is suffering from a dark disease, and it is reasonable to let him recuperate for a while, and now the world is generally calm, and there will be no war. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in the future, if my Datang uses troops again, let the second brother take command. Li Jiancheng stood up at this time, his thoughts were quite consistent with Pei Lian, no matter what purpose Li Er resigned, he had no time to think about it so much at this time, a great opportunity could not be missed in vain, so he made a proposal to his father in favor of Li Er's resignation.
The prince's words were quite moving, not only fully expressing his brother's concern for his younger brother, but also expressing his full trust in Li Er from the perspective of the imperial court.
Li Er's expression did not change in the slightest, and he had already prepared for everyone's performance at the moment, and still hugged his fists and said to his father: "What the prince said is very true, if the Tang Dynasty needs the people to take command in the future, the people will naturally have the responsibility." ”
"Huh......" The ministers were secretly surprised, since they entered Chang'an, it has been a long time, and they have never seen the position of the crown prince and the king of Qin so consistent, it is really a strange thing.
"This ......" Li Yuan hesitated slightly, "Have you thought clearly?" ”
"Erchen thinks very clearly."
"Then for the time being, according to what you say, you will be allowed to resign from any military position......" Li Yuan saw that his son didn't seem to have any abnormal reaction, and although he wondered in his heart, he still agreed to Li Er's request according to his words.
"Thank you for your father's grace!" Li Er bowed to his father, then returned to his seat and sat down. Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde and other generals looked in the direction of Li Er, and their hearts were extremely anxious, why did this King of Qin resign from his military post quietly. Ghosts won't believe this kind of talk if you are sick, what is the reason for it? The generals were puzzled. What's more, he began to look in the direction of the prince intentionally or unintentionally, ready to think about the way out in the future.
Li Yuan saw that his son was very calm, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, maybe the second child is really sick, go back and find a few imperial doctors to see, don't really get any serious illness. He also asked people to remove Li Er's wine and replace it with grape wine.
At this time, the father also began to show concern for his son's body, Lao Li came to Li Er with wine and sat down, Li Er was just about to salute, Lao Li Yi held his hand: "Erlang is sick, you have to be polite." ”
Wang Mai had already stood up when Li Yuan came to the table, and Li Yuan unceremoniously occupied Wang Mai's position, took Li Er's hand and began to ask for warmth. The emperor got up, and Pei Lin naturally couldn't sit on the dragon throne anymore, so he accompanied Lao Li to King Qin's table, and stood side by side with Wang Mai behind Lao Li's father and son.
"Wang Tejin." Pei Lin smiled and said hello to Wang Mai.
"Pei Gong, I have admired the name for a long time!" Wang Mai also smiled in return. This old boy is currently the prime minister with real power, even if Li Er has to give three points, he must not be offended.
"I have long heard that Wang Tejin is a young hero, a talent, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." Pei Lian's smile is still very affinity.
Wang Mai naturally didn't dare to say again and again: "...... In front of Pei Gong, I am just a small character, and I don't deserve such praise from Pei Gong. He said so, but he felt a little funny in his heart, and it was the first time in his life that he was called a "talent". In the past, when those people praised themselves, they were all talented and extraordinary...... In short, he has never been praised for his appearance, and this Pei Lin is a little interesting to speak.
Li Yuan talked to Li Er here and said that Queen Dou died, Queen Dou is the biological mother of Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji, it is said that this Queen Dou has hair over her neck as soon as she is out of her mother's womb, and her hair is up to her waist when she is three years old, and she has been a beautiful embryo since she was a child. Empress Dou was raised in the palace by her uncle Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong since she was a child, and she was very favored.
Yuwen Yong's empress was Turkic, which was a political marriage between the Northern Zhou and the Turks. But Yu Wenyong doesn't like his queen, so the harem is very chaotic. Empress Dou advised her uncle to treat her aunt well at a young age, and explained the reason that it was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Yu Wenyong humbly followed the advice of his niece, and since then his attitude towards his queen has changed greatly, and the relationship between the Northern Zhou and the Turks has improved a lot.
Later, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian usurped the throne and slaughtered the Yuwen clansmen, Queen Dou was young, gritted her teeth and said that she wanted to avenge her uncle, so frightened that her father Dou Yi hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth. Queen Dou has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, because she is too famous, there is an endless stream of suitors, and finally Dou Yi actually came up with a trick to recruit relatives. Li Yuan's magic arrow is also famous, Li Yuan, who was still a young Tang Guogong at the time, fired two arrows in a row and hit the peacock eye on the screen, and finally won the beauty.
It's a pity that Queen Dou died young, and it is a pity that a generation of strange women did not witness her husband's success in avenging her uncle.
Speaking of the dead Queen Dou, the father and son hugged their heads and cried, looking like a father and a son, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all nodded in approval. To be sure, the King of Qin was an upright man and always fair, and the civil officials were just worried that his power would inevitably breed ambitions. Now King Qin took the initiative to resign, dispelling many people's worries.
Li Er's actions reminded people of the Duke of Zhou, when the Duke of Zhou was in power for a while, he was regent for seven years, but once he waited until his nephew became an adult, he immediately gave up his power and returned to power. Now that King Qin has returned to the dynasty with a great victory, he is not proud of his achievements, but chooses to retire after success, which is quite a saint's mind, and this move immediately won the favor of many people.
Although this triumphant banquet was not as lively as usual, it was the most comforting one, except for the generals......
Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet, Cheng Yanjin carefully pulled Wang Mai aside and asked in a low voice, "What do you say King Qin thinks?" Quietly gave up military power? As Li Er's die-hard loyalist, Lao Cheng couldn't accept Li Er's renunciation of military power under any circumstances, so he complained to Wang Mai.
"King Qin has his own plans, Lao Cheng, don't guess here, be careful that the wall has ears." Wang Mai replied in a low voice. Since Li Er chose not to speak to his subordinates about this matter, he couldn't dismantle his platform, and besides, there is no impermeable wall in the world, once the matter is known to outsiders, it is inevitable that the news will leak.
Cheng Yanjin let out a long sigh, returned to the hall listlessly, looked at the generals who were focusing on him, and shook his head quietly. When all the soldiers saw this, they all shook their heads secretly, and no one could understand what King Qin's step was for.
