Chapter 45: Departure

As soon as the hour arrived, the palace door opened, and the ministers rushed in, and there were already two people standing in the Lizheng Hall at this moment, Li Er and Hou Junji.

The ministers were stunned at first when they came in, many people didn't know the news of Hou Junji's return, and now they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw him standing here, and then hurriedly saluted Li Er. Then stand in your own position, and you know that today's court will be lively.

The ministers stood still and waited for the show to begin! As a result, the entire hall was silent, Li Er sat on the throne and didn't say a word, and Hou Junji knelt down and didn't say a word. The entire court meeting fell into a dead silence, which made the ministers who were secretly laughing in their hearts uncomfortable for a while.

After a long time, Li Er stood up from the throne, and all the ministers looked at him: "Ladies and gentlemen, Hou Junji is back today, and the reason for this is that I already know that this time the battle is unfavorable, it is my fault, not General Hou's unfavorable campaign, and the defeat of this battle is my Li Shimin's sin!" I am here to make amends to you! Li Er said very sincerely, but this disappointed all the people who were going to see Hou Junji's jokes, and at the same time looked at Hou Junji's eyes became subtle, such a war failure, Li Er is willing to help him take responsibility, so the relationship between the two is probably ...... All the officials who were ready to suppress Hou Junji's family industry overturned their previous plans in their hearts.

It turned out that Hou Junji had already confessed to Li Er about the cause and effect of the incident before the court meeting, including the traitor in Shuofang City, who helped the Turks open the city gate in the middle of the night. and the reasons for Wang Yi's rebellion, these Hou Junji did not hide anything, nor did they make any embellishments. At this time, Hou Junji was still loyal to Li Er. It's just that the full strength of the back is getting higher, and the credit is getting stronger and stronger, and the heart of disobedience arises.

In this way, Hou Junji came back, even if he didn't die, he had to be exiled for 3,000 miles. was carried by Li Er. The Weishui Alliance has become a taboo that no one dares to mention, but it is engraved in everyone's hearts.

In the harem, a group of people were packing up at this time. They were about to leave the palace and follow the route of the Turkic invasion.

Li Chengqian pulled Li Tai, the guards around him held the baggage, and looked at the eldest grandson with a reluctant face, after learning that several of his princes were going to follow this shameful route, Li Chengqian showed this expression. After all, he is still a ten-year-old child, who has never left the wings of his eldest grandson, and this time he doesn't know how long he will go. But a round trip is at least more than a month. This made him a little confused about what to do after never being away from his mother for so long.

Li Tai, like his brother, is very reluctant, and there are tears on him, this little fat man is not like Li Chengqian, who has been instilled with the concept of manly tofu since he was a child. The little fat man has always lived a very happy life. So he doesn't care what kind of man doesn't flick when he has tears.

On the other side, Concubine Yang was hugging Li Ke and Li Su and the two brothers and whispering something, while Concubine Yin kept stuffing the clothes she had made in the past few days into Li You's baggage, Li You, this kid, has only worn clothes made by his mother since he was a child, and no matter how gorgeous the other tribute or bought clothes are, no matter what, this little guy just doesn't wear them, this is also a quirk! Maybe something will change when I grow up. But now this kid didn't suffer at all, and he was smiling brightly holding the new clothes his mother had made for him.

Li Kuan stood aside. Looking at the appearance of several people licking the calves, a little lost, looking up at the sky, two familiar faces seemed to flash in the sky, one was ordinary and serene, and the other was vague but had a gorgeous and peerless temperament.

"Second brother, this is a pastry made by Lizhi, you take it with you on the road to eat!" Li Lizhi came to Li Kuan's side at some point and handed him a small package.

"Hmm!" Li Kuan smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Li Li's neatly combed long hair, laughed, and went directly outside.

Walking through the moon gate, a little guy suddenly jumped out: "Second brother, Wei'er can't bear you!" Don't go, okay? "The little one cried with tears on his face.

"Okay, don't pretend, no one is crying to the top of their heads!" Li Kuan also rubbed her little head and debunked her little tricks.

"Second brother! Woo woo...... "The little guy really cried, and Li Kuan hurriedly gave her the pastries given by Li Lizhi before stopping. As soon as he saw the burden handed over by Li Kuan, the little guy immediately smiled, and his big eyes were squinted and he couldn't see it, it seemed that the little guy's goal was to make pastries made by her sister from the beginning.

The group walked out of the palace and out of Chang'an City, and the elders of the eldest grandson stopped. Seeing their son sitting in the carriage, thinking about the direction of the outside of the plug, their hearts also lifted, I wonder if the little ones will suffer along the way? Will you not be able to eat or sleep?

The mother of the child was worried, and before she had gone far, the eldest grandson had already been fascinated by the wind and sand, and the bitter liquid overflowed into their eyes, waving their hands and loudly explaining the precautions on the road.

The willows on the side of the bridge have not yet sent out new branches, so the farewell willows are saved, Li Tai sat in the carriage and poked his head out of the window, waving goodbye to the eldest grandson and others, Li Chengqian sat without saying a word, Li Ke comforted his younger brother, but Li You quietly leaned on Li Kuan's side. Just when these people were sad, Li Lizhi stood in the city tower, holding a bamboo flute, playing it gently, the melody was brisk, but with a little sadness.

Li Kuan, who was sitting in the carriage, sang softly with the sound of the flute: "Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green. The evening breeze supports the willow flute, and the sunset is ............ outside the mountain" Li Kuan remembered that he inadvertently hummed it at the beginning, and was listened to by Li Liqing, and somehow it became this flute song.

"Second brother, what are you singing?" Li You heard Li Kuan humming and asked curiously. He didn't have any sorrows, he was very excited, leaving Chang'an, leaving the palace, leaving the place that made him feel like a cage. There was countless schoolwork every day, and every day I had to be reprimanded by several masters. Li You has long had enough, and now what he is most afraid of is not Li Er, but the masters who taught him. Li Er was a big deal to beat him up, and he was beaten up on the board. Those masters won't beat him, hitting his palms doesn't work at all, so they all talk bitterly, chatter, and talk to him endlessly, giving him an analysis of these countless possibilities, countless shouldn't, in short, Li You saw a few masters, and his whole body trembled.

"You don't care!" Li Kuan glanced at this heartless guy angrily, and the melancholy feeling in his heart was stirred up by this guy.

"Second brother, you can't ignore the little brother! Here Qingque is taken care of by the prince, and Xiaoshu is taken care of by his brother, and I am the most pitiful, alone. "The little kid pretended to be pitiful.

"I'm not much older than you, and besides, in your state, you still need someone to take care of you? Joke! Li Kuan said, turned around, moved to the wheel of the carriage, and watched the guards catch up.

"Second brother!" The little chubby dun also ran over to join in the fun, and at this time the sadness had passed, and he became smiling again.

"Don't cry? It's such an adult, it's ugly to cry! Li Kuan didn't turn his head, looked at the official road in front of him and said.

The carriage was very large, much larger than the ordinary carriage, dozens of horses in front of the road, accompanied by guards on the left and right, and their trip was not like to experience war, but to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Because the carriage is covered with a thick cashmere carpet, this is the first wool sheared by the lamb when it grows, and it is so soft.

"Second brother, you write a poem!" Li Tai was shy and came to Li Kuan's side, he has always admired and admired Li Kuan, because Li Kuan can write a lot of poems, and they are all very good, but they are unknown, but Li Tai is his most loyal reader, and he has a collection in every capital.

"What to write! Who is in the mood to write poetry at this time! Li Kuan shirked and said, in the past few years, this fat dun has been pestering Li Kuan and asking him to write poems. Li Kuan will give him a little bit at first, but the energy points in the back are getting more and more insufficient, who cares about these! So I haven't written a verse in two years.

"Isn't it the easiest to write about parting with sorrow?" Li Tai scratched his head and asked.

"But if you look at Li You's kid, you know how unreliable this thing is!" Li Kuan diverted Li Tai's attention and directed his mind to Li You.

"Li You, you guy, my deer breast!" Li Tai turned his head and saw that Li You was grabbing a large piece of venison and gnawing on it, that was the food he had prepared, this guy ...... So Li Tai pounced, and the two brothers grabbed it in the carriage.

"It's really unpeaceful!" Li Kuan leaned out of the curtain of the car, sat on the wheel, and looked at the backward scenery on both sides in a daze.

The flute is misty, and it becomes ethereal and illusory, and it is far away and I can't hear it clearly. Li Kuan turned around, stood on the wheel, and waved behind him, so that Li Lizhen, who was standing on the city tower, could see it.

Chang'an City was left behind, and the carriage galloped on the official road, heading towards Jingyang.

Approaching Jingyang City, the group gradually became silent, even the most noisy Li You became quiet, because there were no bones on both sides of the road, which made several little guys frightened, Li Chengqian and Li Ke were okay, at least they had been on the battlefield, Li Tai, Li You, and Li Yu were pale, and they seemed to be frightened, because just before, a corpse was placed in front of several people not far from the carriage, this was the corpse of an old man, and when he died, his eyes were wide open, and he looked in the direction of several people blankly, The dilated pupils looked particularly terrifying.

"Why doesn't anyone take this?" Li Kuan is okay, how to say that he has been on the battlefield twice, and even killed a few people, seeing these corpses on the side of the road like this, he asked strangely.

"It's not that no one collects it, but there are too many corpses like this, and they can't be collected!" The guard who drove the car was actually Wang Hu, the one sent by Li Er to Li Kuan's side. Didn't this guy say he wouldn't come along? (To be continued......)
