Thank you Wu Xiaowuju for your reward, Ah Yong thank you!

Scrapped, wrong

Li Bao followed Gonggong Song into the palace, and the furnishings in the palace were very luxurious. + On the ground, I saw a huge agarwood screen in the center of the hall when I entered the hall, and the picture of the screen was not a landscape flower, but a figure painting. However, the content of the pictures is all Buddhist flying heavens, and the characters are vivid, so it can be seen that they are written by everyone.

From this painting, it can be seen that the emperor was really devout to Buddhism. There was a middle-aged man leaning on the bed in front of the screen, with a Chinese face, blank eyes, and a little pale. In front of Yizong, there is a long low table carved with gold and red sandalwood,

Emperor Yizong waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, you go down first, Liulang came to speak." The emperor's voice was very rich, a bit of a baritone feeling, Song Gonggong retreated according to the emperor's order, only the father and son were left in the hall, looking at each other across the table, Li Bao looked at his cheap Lao Tzu, the famous faint monarch in history - Tang Yizong

It's a little weird in my heart, but I can't say what it feels like, I just look at him blankly. Emperor Yizong was also observing his son, and he also had a strange feeling in his heart, although he was his son, but he felt very strange to him, and there was an embarrassment that he didn't know where to start.

The father and son looked at each other for a while, Yizong couldn't help it, and said, "What are you thinking when you look at me like this?" Li Bao quickly retracted his gaze, thought for a while, and said: "I am thinking that although we are father and son, there are few ordinary family happiness, as a son, it is difficult to have the opportunity to get the teachings and companionship of the father, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to express filial piety and admiration for the father, although we are father and son, we live separately in two places, and we are not allowed to see each other, we have the relationship between father and son but rarely have the love of father and son, although blood is thicker than water, but the gap between us is very obvious, maybe our father and son should be regarded as "the most familiar stranger". ”

After Li Bao said this, he was very worried in his heart, I don't know if saying these words will anger Gui Wei's father, if he is angry and closes himself, then he will never be out of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion Day. "I shouldn't have been impulsive just now, it's too late to regret it, let it be fate. Bet that this cheap old man will not be really so mediocre, and his heart is not so narrow," Li Baoxin said.

Li Bao was right, Yizong didn't show anger. "The most familiar stranger"? Yizong said: "I am not a good emperor in the country, and I am not a good father at home, I feel really ashamed to meet you today." Li Bao said: "Grandpa can have these words, my son feels very happy when he hears it,

This shows that Grandpa still has us children in his heart. Please also ask Grandpa not to blame his son for what he just said. Yizong looked at Li Bao, his eyebrows and expressions were very similar to the woman who entered the palace back then, vaguely as if the woman had come back to life again, and said slowly: "You are very similar to your mother, not very like me, some time ago I watched Li Kehe's new song, the Tianzhu style and the girl's innocence and playfulness shown in the song and the joy of spring, I like it very much." "Later, Li Keji said that it was a song you made, and I was very surprised, I didn't expect my son to have such talent, which really made me very happy." Li Bao also said happily in his heart: "It's good to like it, I'm afraid that your old man won't like it." ”

Yizong then asked some about Li Bao's life in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, such as how he lived, what were the shortcomings of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the palace people did their best to serve him, etc., Li Bao replied one by one, everything was fine. Although the two exchanged pleasantries on very common topics, these kinds of unnutritious conversations showed that there was a deep estrangement between father and son. This estrangement comes from two aspects,

Yizong was not particularly fond of his sons, as can be seen from the fact that he summoned Li Bao and Li Bao was despised by the small yellow door at the entrance of the palace; On the other hand, Li Bao's soul comes from later generations, and he really can't find a sense of intimacy with himself, a cheap old man. It is as if the father and son are staging a drama of "father and son filial piety" in this hall. This made Li Bao feel like an "actor". But it's not too bad, after all, the royal family has no family.

"Several of your brothers have been crowned kings, and your brothers must care for each other on weekdays, don't fight, and don't let me bother, so that everything will be prosperous for your family and talents." Li Bao replied: "Follow Grandpa's teachings. After saying this, Yizong seemed to be a little tired, so he said, "Okay, let's stop here today." Li Baoxin said: This emperor Lao Tzu wants to drive himself away, no, he can't just leave. I finally came out for a trip, and I went back, but I didn't have a chance in the future, so I hurriedly said: "My son has made a new tune, and I ask Grandpa to comment." After speaking, Li Bao held the music sheet with both hands and handed it to Yizong's table, Emperor Yizong saw that this child still understands the etiquette and rules, and added another point to Li Bao's perception in his heart, and reached out to pick up the name of the song and took a look, the four big characters of "Jing Zhong Serving the Country" in the book, and the lyrics below are extremely neat regular script, and Li Bao's calligraphy is very appreciated. Looking at the lyrics carefully, I think the lyrics are concise and concise, and they are also very simple, but the words and sentences are very good, but there is no music score, and I don't know how to sing it, so I asked: "This word, the writing is good, but it is too simple, and the penmanship is also very neat, and it can be seen that your calligraphy has worked hard." But the meaning of this word is very good, how to sing "Loyal to the Country", can you compose a song? Li Bao hurriedly replied: "My son doesn't know how to compose music, but he figured out how to sing by himself, and asked Grandpa to appreciate it." After that, Li Bao saw Yizong signaling that he could sing, Li Bao cleared his throat: exhaled and started singing:

The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north

The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost

The heart is like the Yellow River

Who can fight in 20 years

Hatred is mad and the knife is headed

How many siblings are buried in their bones

What a pity to die to repay the family and country

I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears

The horseshoe goes south and people look north

People look north at the grass and yellow dust

I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory

The Tang Dynasty wants to give way to the Quartet

Come to congratulate

……

This song is the best track of Li Bao to KTV in later generations, of course, the lyrics have been changed a little, so that this song is more suitable for the Tang Dynasty, Li Bao's singing really shocked Yizong, although it was sung by a ten-year-old child, he can still feel the heroic feelings in this song, Yizong was a little sleepy, this song directly swept away his fatigue, and he couldn't help but like this song, although the singing method is a little weird, but the flaws are not hidden, and he actually gave birth to a point of the pride of Emperor Taizong who made the sea surrender, asked "you are young, how can you make such a song" Li Bao was prepared, said: "My son listened to the palace people talk about the deeds of Zhang Yichao, the general of Zuo Jinwu, and was deeply moved, remembering that he and those young men of the Western Regions often have the heart of serving the country, and swear not to forget my Tang Dynasty, he led the soldiers to recover the eleven states of the Western Regions, revitalize my Tang Dynasty military prestige, and re-incorporate the great rivers and mountains of the Western Regions into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I composed this song, and I would like to dedicate this song to General Zhang, to commend General Zhang's high affection for my Li Tang royal family, and to hope that Grandpa will agree. In addition, the son has a request, and he also hopes that Grandpa can fulfill it. ”

Yizong was moved by Li Bao's song "Loyal to the Country", and was in a very good mood, and asked at the moment: "What's the matter?" Li Bao replied: "My son wants to ask my father to appoint General Zhang as his son's teacher, and I also want to visit the teacher in person and pay tribute to this hero who cherishes my Tang Dynasty." Yizong said: "Ji Wang Fu, I have already arranged for Yang Yan, the head of the household department, if I appoint General Zhang again, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate," Li Bao hurriedly said: "It's okay, Yang Shilang is a Wenchen can be a master, General Zhang is a military general, and the sword and horse kung fu must be good, just be the son's sword and horse master." Isn't this the best of both worlds" Yizong is also good when he hears it, this Zhang Yichao has been very low-key since the return to the Tang Dynasty in the eighth year of Xiantong (870 AD), and has never participated in any right and wrong in the court, and he has never thought about how this Guiyi Army is doing, if it is not for his son to mention, he will definitely not be able to remember him, a few days ago a courtier also said that he was seriously ill, and his life was not long, today his son mentioned, just be a favor, not only to meet his son's wishes but also to commend the heart of the old minister, Why not have the best of both worlds. So he said, "Since you insist on doing so, I will fulfill you." Make an order today. If you have any new tunes that you can communicate with Li Keji, and if you want to learn to compose lyrics and music, you can go to him and let him teach you. Yizong thought for a while and said, "I will give a decree and let Li Keji also be your master, and you can also go out of the palace to study with him." "It's really good for Li Bao to hear this, he has long wanted to walk around the city and see the outside world, if he has been confined to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and there will be chaos in a few years, then he will only have to wait for death." You go back first, wait for the will, I'm a little tired today. After Yizong said these words, he pressed his forehead, beckoned Song Siqi and instructed: "Liulang is young, and it is a long way to go back, so you arrange a sedan chair to send him back." Li Baoyi looked at this trip, the goal was achieved, and he also worshiped the three masters. It's really profitable. smiled and said goodbye to Yizong. Song Siqi didn't dare to slack off, and saluted. Turned around and took Li Bao out of the palace together, and immediately arranged a sedan chair carried by eight people to send Li Bao back, Li Bao sat in a gorgeous and wide sedan chair, and his heart was happy, thinking that he could finally get out of this imperial city and see the last bit of glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty = Chang'an City. Because the greatest city of its time will be ravaged and destroyed in the war a few years later, and there will never be a time to return to its old self.
