The geographical location of Yongwang Mansion in Yongjiafang is unbiased, and there is nothing surprising about the façade. In terms of origin, his maternal family Guo family can also be regarded as prominent, before his uncle Guo Xuji died, he once worshiped the Ministry of Works, the imperial history doctor, the governor of Shu County, and the Jiannan Daojie envoy, posthumously presented the prince and the prince. However, his mother Guo Shunyi died early, and he was born ugly, not as handsome as other princes, but long and handsome, so he was never favored and valued by Li Longji. At this moment, although he was respectful on his face, there was a trace of rebelliousness hidden in his lowered eyes.

For so many years, he has almost been forgotten, and today Li Longji went out of the palace to drive the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and he came to him after going around for a while, and I don't know how many people didn't expect it!

After getting out of the car, Li Longji, who was on crutches, suddenly shook off a eunuch beside him with one hand and said to Du Shiyi: "Du Qing may help me?" Let's walk together. ”

This is definitely not in line with the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, if it was placed many years ago, it can make countless officials happy. But today, the prestige of the Son of Heaven is almost gone, and when he makes such a request, his face is a little pleading. So, after the initial accident, Du Shiyi immediately confessed and stepped forward to help Li Longji according to his words. But as soon as his hand put on that arm, he felt that the son of heaven who wanted to hit the ball back then and never obeyed the old man was now skinny, and that arm was so bony that he couldn't touch any flesh, and even between walking, he could feel that Li Longji's whole person was trembling slightly.

And on the left hand side of the Son of Heaven, the person who supported him was Yongwang Li Luan. He is seven or eight years younger than Du Shiyi, his complexion is slightly dark, his eyes are big and small, due to poor eyesight, he often squints, coupled with a hooked nose, and extremely thin lips, he not only looks ugly, but also a little mean. At this time, he did not flatter his father with a smile and compliments, but just lowered his head and silently helped Li Longji to walk inside.

"When Shifu Lang was young, his mother Guo Shunyi died. At that time, San Lang himself was a child, and when he saw Fifteen Lang walking around in the palace looking for his mother, he thought that he was also a young mother, so he took him to his palace to raise him and teach him to read and write. Therefore, when the fifteenth lang went out of the pavilion to study, the four books and five classics were already extremely proficient, and those lecturers praised them endlessly. ”

When Li Longji said this, he was full of emotion, and before he knew it, he was already teary-eyed. But Li Lan hung his head deeply, as if to hide his sad expression. However, his hand holding Li Longji was trembling slightly, and he couldn't wait to suddenly increase his strength and break the shackles that had imprisoned him for many years.

Did Lee Hyung raise him? It's a joke! But it's normal, it's not the first time that the Son of Heaven has opened his mouth. After the death of Concubine Wu Hui that year, Li Longji even once expressed his remorse for abolishing the queen back then, and pushed the matter to Concubine Wu Hui's frame, and even after Li Heng entered the East Palace, he said that the queen had raised Li Heng in the past. Li Heng acquiesced in this matter at that time according to the wishes of his father. But what's the truth? Li Ying is the second son of the Son of Heaven, Concubine Zhao Li favored the harem back then, and she was canonized as the crown prince a long time ago, and the queen wanted to give birth to a concubine before it was too late, how could she take care of a concubine's third son?

As for the statement that Li Heng raised him, he originally made it up. Due to the early death of his mother, his uncle Guo Xuji's official position was not high at that time, and his grandfather died again, so his status in the palace naturally could not be mentioned at all. For others, the Daming Palace walk, which may not be remembered at all, burned down a total of three side halls, but it was the place where he and his mother lived together. And what Li Heng did was to accommodate him who was homeless, and as for the professor to read, he just couldn't talk about it, he didn't know how to read at that time! But no matter what, of course he remembered the favor.

It's ridiculous that Li Longji, who entered the palace before saying that Li Heng had raised him, and his father actually believed it.

If it weren't for his uncle Guo Xuji's good luck later, if he hadn't known that he was ugly and not liked by his father, and had worked hard to study, maybe he would have been like other brothers, eating all day long, and then doing nothing for the rest of his life. No, it should be said that if it weren't for Li Longji's tiredness of government in his later years, the appointment of traitors, and the provoking An Lushan rebellion to sweep the entire north, maybe he would have been so mediocre until he died!

Without even pretending, Li Lan's voice became hoarse and ugly: "Brother Prince's kindness to me will be remembered in my heart for the rest of my life." ”

From Du Shiyi's point of view, because of Li Longji's obstruction, he couldn't see the expression on Li Lan's face clearly, however, he naturally understood the play played by the father and son. So, he took the opportunity to speak: "It has been a period of time since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jianning of Guangping were tyrannical, and now although the rebels have not been wiped out, if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that the hearts and minds of the people and the army will be difficult to settle." Please also ask Your Majesty to remember the feelings of the upper and lower levels, and set the names of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jianning of Guangping as soon as possible. ”

Li Longji's steps faltered slightly, and then he said unnaturally: "I have long wanted to do this, but the military situation ahead is urgent, and now is indeed the time." ”

"The prince's brother was worried and ridiculed because of An Lushan's rumors, and finally became violent, and King Jianning, the king of Guangping, also committed suicide because of the treacherous rumors, and now that the matter has passed, if Grandpa can posthumously give him the father and son, the rumors outside will naturally subside, and the soldiers in front will also move forward bravely."

Compared with Fengwang Li Heng, Li Xuan's clever tongue is by no means superior, and he skillfully put all the blame on An Lushan and those eunuchs who escaped, and sure enough, he got a satisfied smile from Li Longji. And taking advantage of this opportunity, he finally calmed down, he looked up and saw the main hall in front of him, but suddenly said: "Grandpa came all the way from the king's mansion, the main hall is all the same color shape, there is nothing to see, why don't you go to my backyard bamboo garden for a walk?" I don't like rich flowers like peonies and peonies like other brothers, only a few bushes of green bamboo, but they are also pleasing to the eye. ”

Li Longji specially came to the sixteen kings' mansions today to play a good performance of father's love and filial piety. However, King Ying is cautious, King Sheng is exaggerated, and King Feng is stupid, but this ugly-looking Yongwang Li Lan is not as outrageous as the first three brothers, so he can't get off the stage at every turn, but makes him feel very comfortable. However, Li Longji, who had already made up his mind, of course would not change his mind because of such a slight impression, he immediately glanced at Du Shiyi, which was regarded as asking for advice, and seeing that he hesitated for a moment and agreed, he immediately smiled kindly at Li Luan; "Then go to your bamboo garden."

On the way to Zhuyuan, there is a road first, but when you enter the small gate, there is only a winding path paved with cobblestones in front of you. This kind of road is obviously not suitable for many people to hug each other, so Li Lan said to Du Shiyijian: "Why don't you let the forbidden army search the forest and let others stay here to guard?" Grandpa is difficult to come out to relax, this place is quiet, and it is easy to talk. And Xiangguo is fighting desperately in the front, and after returning to Beijing, he can't be idle, and he has to deal with the battle report from the front, which is rare and relaxing, which is also good for his body and mind. ”

"What the king said is very true, and the ministers obey the orders of His Majesty."

When Li Longji heard Du Shiyi say this, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then gestured to the accompanying forbidden army. After dozens of people searched the forest and made sure that there were no problems, Du Shiyi bowed slightly at the people in the forward battalion who accompanied him today. Since he put Azler's forward battalion in the forbidden garden of Daming Palace to guard, this small cavalry has shared the duties of the guard with the forbidden army, and today's trip is also half to half, as for what they are responsible for, they all know each other. However, Long Wu General Chen Xuanli did not come with him today, and Azler was also absent.

Leaving the others to wait in the open space in front of the bamboo forest, Du Shiyi and Yongwang Li Lan continued to support Li Longji to walk inside. This piece of bamboo forest covers a wide area, almost two-thirds of the back garden of the entire Yongwang Mansion is covered by this verdant bamboo forest, walking in it, the cool breeze is blowing, the sunlight can only fall to the ground through the bamboo leaves, if it is midsummer, it will be cool and comfortable, but now it is a little cool. Especially Li Longji, who is getting weaker and weaker now, can't help but shudder when he walks into the depths. At this time, Li Lan thoughtfully pointed to the grass pavilion not far away and said, "Grandpa, how about sitting there?" ”

"Good. I'm old, not to mention I can't ride a horse, I can't play a ball, I can't pull a bow, I didn't expect that I can't even walk now. ”

When he said this, Li Longji's heart was also extremely bitter, and when he arrived in the grass pavilion, he saw that there were soft cushions and waist pillows everywhere, a small red clay stove, and a copper kettle and tea set, and he gradually revealed a smile. He glanced at the soldiers of the forbidden army and the forward battalion that were almost invisible on the other side, and then said: "When I see these things, I can't help but think of the persuasion that Du Qing proposed when he was appointed in Chengdu. Nowadays, tea is popular all over the world, from Tubo to Xi people, Khitan and Tiele people, all love this thing, and the treasury is also a lot richer. Fifteen Lang, when the tea is ready, you will personally present it to Du Qing for me and thank him for his contributions over the years. ”

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although there are also clans that are arrogant and domineering, they are much more restrained than the princes of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and most of them can salute the scholars. However, Du Shiyi didn't wait for Yongwang Li Lan to agree, so he immediately got up and thanked: "Your Majesty's words are too ridiculous, and the ministers dare not take the word thanks." ”

Although Li Lan has put a tea set here, the spring water has long been boiled, and it is just a show at the moment. He strained the tea and turned his head, but he showed a chilling smile: "Grandpa has already said that he wants to reward Xiangguo, why should Xiangguo be arrogant and refuse Grandpa's kindness?" Those who refused Grandpa's kindness in the past ended nothing. ”

Faced with Li Lan's expression and words, Li Longji was stunned. Today's four royal mansions, he has all made a careful plan in his heart, although the first three places have such an incompetent guy as Feng Wang Li Heng played the smash, but after all, the set goal was achieved. But now, Li Lan clearly deviated from the established script, and this off-string sound also made him have some very bad premonitions all of a sudden.

What do you want to do? Why do you use such words to tease Du Shiyi?

Without waiting for Li Longji and Du Shiyi to react, Li Lan turned the small teacup with a small half of the tea soup in his hand, and said meaningfully: "Xiangguo thinks that there are only three of me here at this moment, if I poison this tea soup, what will be the result?" ”
