Chapter 924: The Imperial Garden Li Er's Family
Today's sunshine is just right, and there are frequent gusts of breeze blowing in the face, and it is rare to have this good spring light to enjoy the flowers and wander in midsummer.
Guo Ye entered the palace, and under the guidance of the chamberlain, he went to the imperial garden, and saw His Majesty Li Er sitting in a stone pavilion, looking at a soft grass with a smile in his eyes.
On the grass, the eldest grandson queen is sitting on the ground, holding a child with a smile, and several palace grandmothers are also taking care of a little princess in Shanshan on the grassy grass.
The little princess staggered, and Lang Lang staggered three or two steps before falling on the soft grass, but she was so strong that she didn't cry or make a fuss, got up and walked again, and fell down again.
Several grandmothers were tugging at their hearts, but the eldest grandson queen giggled frequently, calling for words like "Come on" from time to time.
This toddler princess Guo Ye has some impressions, it seems that she is the princess Dou'er who urinated on her body last year, she didn't want to grow so fast, she was not weaned at the beginning, and now she has begun to learn to walk.
As for the little prince held by Empress Changsun, there is no doubt that he was born with the indirect help of Guo Ye, and now he is only a few months old pheasant slave.
Guo Ye vaguely remembered that some time ago, this little prince was canonized as the king of Jin by His Majesty Li Er, and became the youngest prince in the Tang royal family.
According to the historical trajectory, in the future, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will have the last laugh and take over the heir of the Tang Empire - Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.
Guo Ye looked at the family happiness of His Majesty Li Er's family from afar, and suddenly yearned, and it was time to go back to his hometown in Shuzhong to see his little Guo Xiang.
His Majesty Li Er in the pavilion had already discovered Guo Ye, and beckoned and shouted in the pavilion from afar: "Guo Qing, come, come here, come here!" β
Guo Ye sighed, hurriedly ran forward, and when he passed by the eldest grandson queen who was holding the child, he paused slightly and bowed his head slightly.
Since the fight with the eldest grandson Wuji became more and more stiff, Guo Ye would deliberately avoid the eldest grandson queen every time he entered the palace, although he knew that the eldest grandson queen was a rare virtuous queen in the ages, and he couldn't complain about her at all in the matter of the eldest grandson Wuji. But Guo Ye always feels that people are always brothers and sisters, and there is always an inexplicable weirdness when he meets her again.
Empress Changsun also seemed to have guessed Guo Ye's embarrassment, nodded very understandingly in response, and then teased the pheasant slave and Princess Dou'er to come.
When Guo Ye came into the pavilion to talk about things, the eldest grandson queen hugged the Jin king pheasant slave and asked a few grandmothers to leave the imperial garden with Princess Dou'er and return to the Ganlu Palace.
In the pavilion, Guo Ye smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister came at an inopportune time, disturbing your family's family fun." β
His Majesty Li Er was generous, waved his hand disappretently, and said with a smile: "No blame, no blame, I myself summoned Guo Qing into the palace." Where is family affairs as important as state affairs? Guo Qing doesn't want to go to his heart. Come, Guo Qing, please take a seat! β
Guo Ye snorted and flattered: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and your family affairs are naturally state affairs, they are all the same, hehe." β
"Haha......"
His Majesty Li Er stroked his palms and smiled, and said happily: "Guo Qing can speak, I love to listen." β
Guo Ye could see that His Majesty Li Er was in a very good mood today, and he was even happier than when he forced the Qinghe Cui clan to compromise and weakened the strength of the Guanlong clan.
Guo Ye said secretly, looking at this red complexion, could it be that His Majesty Li Er has bumped into some great joy in the past two days?
was about to speak, but he heard His Majesty Li Er point to the melons and fruits on the table, and said: "Guo Qing, don't worry, come, eat some seasonal melons and fruits first, this is the snow melon sent by Gaochangguo to pay tribute. Try it. β
As he spoke, he personally picked up a piece and handed it to Guo Ye, who was flattered and took it and bit it lightly.
Guo Ye had already noticed the snow melon on the stone table in this pavilion before he ate it, isn't this the Xinjiang specialty cantaloupe of later generations?
While eating, he pondered carefully, this Chang'an is so far away from Gaochang Kingdom, and the transportation is so inconvenient, it can be regarded as a blessing to eat cantaloupe.
Could it be that His Majesty Li Er's good mood today originated from Gao Changguo's side?
At this moment, the voice of Gonggong Shun came from the imperial garden outside the pavilion: "Your Majesty, the left servant of Shangshu shot Yu Shinan and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, entered the palace by order, and they are all waiting outside the imperial garden." β
His Majesty Li Er chuckled lightly and said happily: "It's not too early or too late, it's just the right time, these two people actually happened to come together, Dong Shun, announce that the two of them are here to see me." β
After Shun's father-in-law answered, His Majesty Li Er didn't forget to joke to Guo Ye: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, if they come a little later, this snow melon will be eaten and wiped clean by Guo Qing." β
Guo Ye smiled, only then did he realize that he had inadvertently eaten a large plate of cantaloupe.
He thought about what his father-in-law Shun had said just now, and when he came back to his senses, it turned out that His Majesty Li Er not only summoned him, but also announced Teacher Yu and Li Daozong.
At this time, he was even more sure that His Majesty Li Er would definitely reward him for his meritorious deeds for the fall of Cui Henian and the Cui clan of Qinghe last time.
Suddenly, he took out the handkerchief that Xiuxiu gave him, gently wiped the corners of his mouth and palms, and sat up expectantly.
After a while, Yu Shinan and Li Daozong entered the imperial garden one after another, came to the pavilion, and saluted His Majesty Li Er successively before sitting down.
His Majesty Li Er did not favor one over the other, so he invited the two of them to taste it and ate a few pieces of cantaloupe.
After dividing the spoils of a plate of cantalough, Yu Shinan asked carefully: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to summoning Lao Chen and others into the palace today?" β
"Good thing!"
His Majesty Li Er gently spit out two words, and he attracted the eyes of Li Daozong and Guo Ye in unison.
I only heard His Majesty Li Er say slowly: "The so-called meritorious service is not rewarded, and it is in vain to be a Ming Jun." The case of the collapse of the imperial mausoleum a few days ago has now come to an end, and the three people here have made great contributions, especially Guo Qing, who was unjustly imprisoned and tortured for this. If I don't reward the three of you well, I really don't want to go, and I can't sleep well. β
said it very emotionally, and Yu Shinan sighed again and again, and Li Daozong even excused himself: "The younger brother is just listening to the order, which is not a great merit." If Your Majesty wants to reward his younger brother, it will really make his younger brother embarrassed. β
Guo Ye saw that one of the two of them was full of emotion, and the other refused to refuse, and he was anxious in his heart, like an ant on a hot pot anxiously panicked, and secretly scolded in his heart, what kind of business are you two doing? I feel that you two have not suffered a crime this time, and you feel ashamed to receive merit and reward? I'm grass, you two are so pretending to be generous, what about me?
On the ground, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and played: "Your Majesty, in fact, what Lord Yu and King Jiangxia mean is that Your Majesty, you are too polite, you are the king, we are the ministers, and the ministers share the worries for the monarch, which should be shared." Of course, Weichen also understands His Majesty's intentions, do you think that if you don't appreciate your merits, you are afraid of provoking criticism, and no one will share your worries and relieve Your Majesty in the future, right? Actually, Your Majesty, you really think too much. You are a rare Ming monarch in all dynasties, you can serve you, you can be your courtier, that is the supreme glory of our courtiers. Of course, if Your Majesty insists on rewarding, we can't refuse. As the so-called monarch gives, I dare not resign. This is also a sign of loyalty and patriotism, isn't it? β
"Hahaha......"
Guo Ye's insincere words suddenly provoked the laughter of His Majesty Li Er, and he pointed at Guo Ye and quipped at Li Daozong: "You two look, Guo Qing can't wait for the reward in a hurry." If I really don't reward him, he will have to be anxious with me, and he will have to secretly scold you two behind someone's back. β
"Oh? Ha ha...... Your Majesty, Guo Ye is a teenager with a pure heart! β
Yu Shinan was also amused by His Majesty Li Er's words, glared at Guo Ye a little angrily, covered up for Guo Ye on his lips, but said in his heart, you kid will die if you are reserved?
Li Daozong didn't even have the mind to take a look at Guo Ye, and secretly said, this kid is really in a hurry, and dog meat can't be on the table.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand at Guo Ye, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "Guo Qing sits down first, you have no jokes, I said that I would be rewarded, so naturally your share is indispensable." However, the three of you are summoned to the palace today for another matter, a great joy. β
Guo Ye also reacted at this time, he was a little too excited, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, sat down honestly, and echoed: "Your Majesty, what other great joys?" β
His Majesty Li Er didn't say it explicitly, but suddenly pointed to the cantaloupe peel on the table and said, "Since Gao Changguo ascended the throne, he has never paid tribute. However, a few days ago, he suddenly sent people to pay tribute, and also sent Gaochang's specialty snow melon, and the Gaochang envoy also brought a letter of state from Gaochang King Ko Wentai. Do you guess what the king of Gaochang said to me in his letter? β
Li Daozong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Yu Shinan looked at the cantaloupe skin, understood a little, and muttered: "This Gao Changguo has always been in cahoots with the Tubo pit, a nest of snakes and rats, why did he suddenly change his temperament?" Could it be that Gaochang and Tubo have a dirty relationship? β
Tibetan?
Guo Ye was very sensitive when he heard these two words, and he thought of Yu Wenqian, a girl, for no reason, isn't she now carrying out a coup d'Γ©tat in Tubo to seize power?
At this time, His Majesty Li Er shook his head slightly and said, "It's not there for the time being, but Lu Wentai has brought me a piece of news about Tibet. β
Li Daozong asked, "Your Majesty, what is the news?" β
Boom~
Yu Shinan and Guo Ye's gaze was fixed on His Majesty Li Er's face again.
I only heard His Majesty Li Er smile, his eyes flashed with sparkle suddenly, and the whole person's face released a look of excitement, and he said slowly:
"Lu Wentai told me in the letter that half a month ago, my henchman of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Kingdom Zanpu Songtsan Gampo - died of illness and returned to heaven!"
PS: Thank you for everyone's understanding last night, I finally rushed out of this chapter to make up for it, and went to rest first.
