995 Self-defeating (Grand Chapter)
"Brother, if there is no accident, Changle is still your daughter-in-law, but now ......" Empress Changsun said to Changsun Wuji with a little guilt.
In fact, since the death of the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest grandson queen has always had a sense of guilt for the eldest grandson family, in her mind, she has always thought that this best daughter is the eldest grandson of the family, but she didn't expect the eldest grandson to die in battle when she went out to conquer Tibet, so that her brother white-headed man sent the black-headed person, and when she saw the eldest grandson Wuji appear, her heart began to feel a little guilty.
His sister, who is the queen, is still as kind as back then, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed secretly in his heart, but he said with a straight face: "Queen, this is wrong, the dog died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud, that is his glory, but it is a pity to lose the princess, only blame him for his shallow fortune, and the queen does not need to blame herself." ”
Li Er coughed dryly, diverted this unpleasant topic, and asked casually: "Uncle Guo, when you came in, were the ministers still outside the palace gate?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, there are still a few waiters waiting outside the palace."
"I am still reluctant to disperse, needless to say, the main lord has not appeared, and now I will send a few of them as the vanguard, I really don't want me to live." Li Er said with a sullen face.
The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Then how is the emperor going to deal with Liu Yuan?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "My daughter also dares to bully, and even the royal reputation dares to slander, I can't wait to kill him." ”
If others heard Li Er say this, they would definitely be frightened, thinking that Li Er was really going to execute a great hero, but when the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his heart was relieved. It was as if the whole person had become lighter.
Junchen has worked together for many years, and the eldest grandson Wuji knows Li Er too well, with his personality. Either turn a blind eye and indulge in indulgence, or be clean and neat, leaving no legacy, if Li Er is silent, it will be dangerous, Xuanwumen is the most classic example, on the contrary. When he used threatening words like this, it showed that there was no murderous intent in his body, or rather. The murderous intent is not strong.
I can't wait to kill him, that is, I can't kill him, otherwise as the king of a country, he will be determined to kill someone. Who else can stop it?
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart is as clear as a mirror: the emperor is looking for a way to balance. Or to put it simply, find a step to go down, this is good, the semi-component of Changluo Expressway, you can put it in your arms, of course, the premise is that Li Er has always maintained this attitude, and he can find a way to balance.
"Your Majesty. This move will never work" Although he understood what Li Er meant, the eldest grandson Wuji still said with a straight face: "Kill Liu Yuan at these times." I am afraid that it will cause a backlash from my subjects and destroy this good situation. ”
"I don't know," Li Er said with a depressed face: "If it weren't for these scruples, I would have cut him down a long time ago." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, are you willing to kill such a talent?" ”
Liu Yuan can be called the fortune star of the Tang Dynasty, what can be said that there is a problem, in his hands, it will immediately become simple: the most difficult Tubo, it can be said that he was defeated in the hands of one person, finance, transportation, military intelligence and military secrets, etc., in his hands It has become extremely simple, such talents, wherever they are placed, are extremely rare talents.
"People are good, but there are a lot of problems." After a deep groan, Li Er said with some dissatisfaction.
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "As the old saying goes, there is no gold without feet, no one is perfect, the ancients were honest and did not deceive, just like Liu Yuan, literary talent and martial arts have merits, especially that mind, good ideas are not endless, and popularity is good, but he is too unmotivated, and others can't ask for the opportunity to go to court, but he is tired of coping, he has a great opportunity, but he doesn't pay attention to the image, greedy for money and lustful, not to mention that there are groups of wives and concubines in the family, Pei's women have not yet passed the door, and now they are causing such trouble, which not only makes Qinghe Cui's very unhappy, but also leaves a stain, It is not conducive to the future career. ”
After speaking, before Li Er could speak, Eldest Sun Wuji continued: "That's fine, if he is too perfect, we won't dare to use him." ”
Li Er nodded secretly, the eldest grandson Wuji said very reasonably, as the so-called high merit shocks the master, Liu Yuan is too fast, the background is too big, the popularity is too good, and the talent is too prominent, especially leading the troops to fight, and he has his unique talent, if such a person has no flaws, he really doesn't dare to use it.
"It's all used to," Li Er couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"Yes, it's all the emperor's thirst for talent, in order to attract talents, he is really used to them, give him three points of color, and he dares to open a dyeing workshop."
The eldest grandson Wuji is in a good mood, after his own persuasion, Li Er's hatred in his heart has decreased significantly, in fact, it's not bad to think about it, there are not many talents like Liu Yuan, if Liu Yuan has not yet become married, Li Er is willing to choose all the public directors Liu Yuan, the biggest problem is that Liu Yuan has become a relative.
It is enough to have this attitude, in this way, you only need to tap somewhere else, so that Li Er has a step to go down, and then the resolution of this matter is just around the corner.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, this palace wants to see the father and the queen mother."
"Princess, princess, the emperor and the queen are now meeting with the eldest grandson, and they have ordered that no one disturb them, so please go back."
"Fuck off, I'm a princess, what are you minions going to do?"
Just when everyone was chatting, there was a sudden sound of quarrel outside, the voice of the three people present was very familiar, it was the voice of Li Liqing, the master of Changle, just now I was secretly happy that Changsun Wuji had a stirring spirit in his heart, and shouted in his heart: Not good.
Sure enough, Empress Eldest Sun's face showed a look of worry, and Li Er's face suddenly turned pale.
At this time, Li Lizhen, surrounded by several palace maids and eunuchs, had already rushed into the Lizheng Palace, and when she saw Li Er and Empress Changsun, she said anxiously: "Father, mother, these slaves don't let Changle see his father, emperor, and mother." ”
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the little incompetence, has not been able to stop the princess......." a eunuch said with a look of embarrassment.
Being a slave of them, it is the most difficult to be caught between the two, the emperor and the queen can't help but obey their orders, but the princess is not an ordinary person, so she can't be forced.
It was still the eldest grandson queen who was the kindest, and waved at them and said, "Okay." It's okay here, you all stand down. ”
"Yes, Queen." A group of palace maids and eunuchs heard this. If he won the big picture, he hurriedly retreated.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, for fear that Li Lizhi would anger Li Er, who had just calmed down, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It turned out to be Changle, after looking for your father and queen mother, is there something urgent?" ”
"Changle has seen my uncle" In front of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Lizhi did not dare to call himself the palace. His uncle has a very high status in the hearts of his father and mother, and he is the queen, so he has to respectfully call his brother. Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji, he saluted and said: "Seeing my father because of some urgent matters, I was anxious and reckless. Let my uncle smile. ”
"You still know recklessness?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, has not yet spoken. Li Er had already lectured with a displeased face on the side: "Why do I usually ask for you?" As a princess, I was in a panic when I did things, I didn't think about it, and I didn't have any sense of proportion, which is simply a big loss of my royal demeanor. ”
Li Er's words were said in a loud voice, and Li Liqian, who was a little reckless just now, was trained to lower her head, and her face was flushed. I don't dare to look at Li Er, Li Er has never been so strict with himself. Of course, Li Lizhi has always behaved very well, and in the eyes of Li Er and his wife, they are both worry-free and obedient girls.
"Yes, father, son-in-law is guilty." Seeing Li Er so fierce, Li Lizhi was also scared, although she was a little wronged, she still obediently admitted her mistake.
The eldest grandson queen on the side saw Li Lizhi with her head down, with a pitiful look, especially recently when she didn't think about tea and dinner, her appetite was lost, and the whole person lost weight, and she was heartbroken when she saw that the eldest grandson queen was heartbroken, and her children were the meat of their parents' hearts, and she had always loved this daughter very much, and when she heard her husband crying about her daughter, she couldn't help but protect her and said: "Your Majesty, okay, Changle knows that she is wrong, so don't reprimand her anymore." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to Changle and said, "Changle, you are so anxious to find your father, what is the important matter?" ”
"Changle, your father and uncle are discussing state affairs, if you don't have anything important, go back first." On the side, the eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth to play peace.
First, he was afraid that the father and daughter would have a stiff quarrel and it would not end well, and secondly, the eldest grandson Wuji was also afraid that Li Lizhi would talk about Liu Yuan, which would cause Li Er's dissatisfaction.
"Uncle Xie's teaching, Changle knows his mistakes, but this trip is to find his father for important things."
"Say, what's the point of looking for me?"
Li Lizhi hesitated for a moment, but quickly said: "Father, I heard that you sent General Yangwei to the heavenly prison, but is there such a thing?" ”
It's going to be bad now, and the eldest grandson Wuji on the side was stunned when he heard it: Which pot is this, which pot is not opened.
"That's right, I threw him into prison, Changle, what's the matter, do you have an opinion?" Li Er's face darkened a little more, but unfortunately Li Liqian, who was anxious for a while, didn't notice it, but it is estimated that she couldn't help but say it even when she saw it.
Li Lizhi couldn't help but be excited all of a sudden, and said loudly: "Father, how can you be like a hero, General Liu has made a lot of achievements to the Tang Dynasty, not long ago he broke through some cities, and captured Tubo alive to buy Puzan Gampo, these are immortal miracles, General Liu has not returned to the city, you have thrown him into the heavenly army, I am afraid that the subjects of the world will have objections." ”
Sure enough, this was the case, and the eldest grandson Wuji on the side paused for a moment, and almost fainted: Changle, Changle, where is your usual cleverness? Today, he chose to intercede for Liu Yuan in this concern, is this a plea? It's obviously burning oil on fire, everyone in the world can intercede for Liu Yuan, but she can't.
If it was someone else's intercession, Li Er would definitely not do anything to him because of his feelings, after all, what he said was the truth, and there were more people who said it, and there would be a step down, but as soon as Li Lizhi said it, the whole thing immediately turned sour, what is this, this is what the royal princess took the initiative to post? It's not that Liu Yuan deceived her emotions with rhetoric, this is a princess hooking up with a married man? The royal face made her lose everything.
Especially someone with a good face like Li Er.
Li Er's tone became a few degrees colder again, and he said coldly: "Oh, you mean, I did something wrong? ”
Although Li Lizhen heard that his father was dissatisfied, his voice became colder, and he was a little scared in his heart, but when he thought of Liu Yuan being thrown into the prison, the prison, what kind of place is that, it is the place where the felons are held, the environment is bad, it is said that the jailers inside also like to torture and interrogate prisoners, the prison is not a restaurant or restaurant, who knows what will become after entering, Li Lizhen heard that Liu Yuan returned triumphantly, and her heart was secretly happy, especially Liu Yuan's great success in Tubo in Datang. His reputation soared, and his subjects all classified him as a list of famous generals, but he didn't expect to be guilty in the end. asked for marriage in public, but the father insisted on putting Liu Yuan in prison despite the pleas of his subjects, and refused to meet the civil and military officials who pleaded, and was frightened all of a sudden, for fear that Liu Yuan would lose, so he broke in.
Hear everything Liu Yuan did. Just to ask for marriage, Li Lizhi was very moved in her heart, and a sweetness seeped into her blood. Through the heart, and then to the whole body, the impulse to keep the clouds open and see the moon is not to mention, men and women in love. That IQ will plummet. In a hurry, this happened.
Liu Yuan was sent to the prison by his father because of himself, and he couldn't ignore this matter, not only to take care of it, but also to be fast, so as not to suffer from his flesh and skin.
Li Er glanced at Li Lizhi and asked word by word: "Changle." I asked you, and you answered truthfully. There must be no half-word falsehood. ”
"Yes, Father."
"I ask you, can you make a private engagement with Liu Yuan for life?"
"Yes"
"You and Liu Yuan, have you ever had a skin-to-skin relationship?"
Li Lizhi bit her lip, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, please ask my father to fulfill his son." ”
With a "snap", Li Er slapped Li Lizhi on the face, and on the pretty face that poured all the people's lives, there were five more clearly visible palm prints at once, and then, Li Er pointed at Li Lizhi's face and scolded: "Are you embarrassed enough?" Do you really think others don't know about that little bit of? If this matter is spread out, the royal family will make people laugh off their big teeth, you are a princess, you should be a role model for women who have not been out of the cabinet in the world, you are a princess, a princess who has not been out of the cabinet, then there should be four virtues, women's virtue, women's words, women's appearance, women's merits, among these four, and with virtue as the head, I ask you again, since ancient times, marriage matching, pay attention to the life of parents, matchmaker's words, your father and queen mother are still in the world, when will it be your turn to assert? Before you leave the cabinet, you have a skin-to-skin relationship, and you say it so justifiably, where is your virtue? ”
This slap was crisp and loud, not only the queen was stunned, but also the queen of the eldest grandson on the side was stunned.
It's been a long time, it's been a long time, everyone has forgotten when Li Er was so angry last time, if I'm not mistaken, it should be traced back to the change in Xuanwumen, that is, Li hasn't been so angry for more than 20 years, this time, he really moved the real fire.
"Woo woo" Li Li hesitated, she didn't expect that her father, who was usually so kind to herself, suddenly slapped herself, in her memory, her father was reluctant to reprimand herself, and now she actually slapped herself.
The pain in her heart, I don't know how many times greater than the pain on her face, Li Lizhi reacted, lowered her head, and cried with grievance.
"Your Majesty, the emperor is angry, Changle is still a child, sometimes he doesn't know if he does something wrong, don't be angry." As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Er's liver fire, he hurriedly walked in front of him and blocked the two of them, for fear that Li Er would do some irreparable wrong things under his anger.
Li Er reprimanded her daughter, Empress Changsun did not speak, because Li Lizhen did do something wrong, her husband reprimanded her in order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, in public and private, as a matter of course, it is justified, but her husband suddenly slapped her, her daughter's face was swollen, and Empress Changsun suddenly felt heartache, this slap seemed to be on her daughter, but the pain was in her heart, and she immediately pulled Li Lizhen in her arms, and said to Li Er with a guilty face:
"Seeing that Changle did something wrong, the concubine, who is the queen, is also at fault, please ask the emperor to punish the concubine as well."
Empress Changsun knew that Liu Yuan had received a knife blow, but he just fainted, and his body was fine, and her husband also ordered him to be given a clean prison room, and he was not executed, not to mention that with his popularity and the influence of the Qinghe Cui clan, he would not suffer anything, why was Liu Yuan fine, and his most beloved daughter had to bear the anger for him?
"Yes, the emperor, the family and everything is prosperous, everything is discussed" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, do you remember that you promised that day that you would not interfere with Changle's marriage and let her pursue her own happiness, this is a promise that the deceased gave Changle in exchange for his life, as the so-called Jun has no jokes, the emperor, the eldest son is not by the mother, and the eldest daughter is not by the mother, not many people know about this, do not hide it from the emperor, that is, the emperor and the queen just said, the minister only learned, as long as the mouth is tighter, who in the world knows?" And who believes? ”
Li Er hesitated and said, "But, this"
Facing Liu Yuan. Li Er can use strong words to reason, and he blacked the two hole cards at once, which is obviously a big bully. But the identity of the eldest grandson Wuji is very different from Liu Yuanda, firstly, the eldest grandson Wuji is an important minister that he relies on very much, and secondly, he is the uncle of the country, so he can't be used to reason with him in public and private.
Seeing her husband's attitude soften, Empress Eldest Sun also took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, can't you find a way to get the best of both worlds?" ”
"Father" Li Lizhi suddenly knelt on the ground. said with a sad face: "It was the daughter who was ignorant and did something wrong, so that the father and the queen were so angry and the queen mother worried." It is even more humiliating to the royal family, and the retainers are willing to return to my Buddha, accompanied by green lanterns for a long time, and chant fasting and chanting scriptures every day. Pray to the Bodhisattva to bless me with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Bless the father and the queen mother to be strong and strong, I just ask my father to let Liu Yuan go, and the sons are grateful here? ”
What the? Escape into the empty door?
A princess wants to escape into the empty door and accompany the Buddha for a long time, how cruel it is for a woman like a flower.
"Changle, what are these words? The Queen Mother forbids you to say this. Empress Eldest Sun said categorically.
Although the eldest grandson queen said that she believed in Buddhism. But she didn't want her daughter to be a nun, so she did. The happiness of her life was ruined.
The eldest grandson Wuji also persuaded on the side: "Changle, why are you so serious, your father and the emperor taught you, and he also loves you deeply and hates deeply, you should understand his good intentions, and your words make my father and mother worry a lot." ”
The brother and sister are "peacemakers" and want to solve the conflict between the father and daughter as soon as possible, but they didn't expect that Li Li's beauty and kindness of the eldest grandson queen have inherited Li Er's persistence and strength in her heart.
Li Er's anger that had just been extinguished suddenly soared again, and he pointed at Li Li and shouted, "Go, I won't stop you." ”
"Woo" Li Lizhen's tears that she had endured for a long time were like beads with broken threads, and she poured down at once, and said "Father Xie" and rushed out crying, so frightened that Empress Changsun glared at Li Er, and hurriedly rushed out.
This is the most fragile time in my daughter's heart, I'm afraid that she won't be able to see it, and she can't stop it.
When he heard his daughter say "Thank you father", Li Er's heart suddenly had a sense of loss, he seemed to see that a huge gap separated the father and daughter who had a good relationship, and the distance between the two fathers and daughters became farther and farther away, and even felt that each other's eyes were also a little strange.
"Alas, it's really female and extroverted, elbows turned out." Li Er watched the back of Empress Changsun disappear from sight, not only was he a little sad, but he was also a little weak to sit in front of the desk, and his face, which had always been confident, also had a look of frustration.
After all, people are human beings, they have seven emotions and six desires, Rao is the emperor who is high, he can control the fate of others, he can control the world, and he can make everyone obey his will, but he can't discipline his own children well, his own children, either jealous or dumping each other, can't wait to be pampered by thousands of people, and give him only one person for the throne and the world, Li Er is not less troubled and sad for him, but he didn't expect that he was the most proud, his favorite daughter, and he did this to himself.
No wonder it is said that "it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs", this sentence also applies to the royal family.
The eldest grandson Wuji rolled his eyes, and lost no time in saying: "Quite a year, the old minister's parents died, fortunately his uncle took him in, the emperor was a high-spirited and graceful beautiful young man, I don't know how many princes and nobles, women from famous families secretly sent autumn waves to the emperor, the iceman who came to the door to say the marriage, almost flattened the threshold, but the emperor resolutely took the queen under the sojourner, and believed that the old minister thought, this may be a thousand miles of marriage, a good match sent by God, and a natural pair is set up. ”
Hearing the memories of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Er couldn't help but think of the amazement he felt when he saw the eldest grandson queen for the first time, the two just glanced at each other, and there was a tacit feeling between them, that feeling, just like the two had known each other for a long time, at that moment, Li Er had already felt that the woman in front of him was his wife, so Li Er rejected many women who were rich and powerful, had great energy or great background, and insisted on marrying the eldest grandson queen under the fence.
Of course, Gao Shilian's energy back then was not bad.
"Yes, God is not thin on me, these years, fortunately, there is Guanyin, there is Guanyin by my side, I will feel at ease, so many years have passed, I can't do without Guanyin." Li Er said with a smile while reminiscing.
The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded and said, "Without the emperor's favor, my eldest grandson clan will not regain its glory." ”
"Okay, our monarch and minister are one, so there is no need to talk about these things anymore, Uncle Guo, you have also seen this matter, you say, how should I deal with this matter?"
"Actually, that's a good thing." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a straight face.
Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and then whispered, "How can you see it?" ”
"The imperial power and the scholars, the two are only eased, and have not been resolved, those families and scholars still have a large number of troops, and they can't be guarded against, no matter how loving the husband and wife are, there are times when they quarrel, no matter how iron the relationship is, there are also moments of disagreement, if Liu Yuan is completely inclined to the scholars, emperor, think about it, a thousand or hundreds of people can show such great power in his hands, so what about ten times or a hundred times the people, isn't it even more terrifying?"
After a pause, the eldest grandson Wuji continued: "If Yan let him be neutral, let him continue to be a sharp weapon in the hands of the emperor, a sharp weapon in the world, and a sharp weapon to expand the territory, then why not do it, gain and lose, gain and loss, there will be gains, it is difficult to buy a good heart, it is difficult to find a lover in ten thousand gold, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and as a parent, jade becomes a good thing, so what's not good?" ”
"Uncle Guo means that I should agree?" Li Er said with a frown.
"This matter needs to be decided by the emperor" The eldest grandson Wuji whispered: "What the minister thought, the emperor must have thought of, and now it's just a hatchet."
Li Er pondered for a while, and said in a deep breath while patting the case: "It's hard to be angry, it's hard to be angry."
The eldest grandson Wuji is very smart, he knows that what he has thought, Li Er must have thought of it, he let himself say, it is just to think of some psychological comfort, but also to wait for people to agree with his plan, so as to make himself more righteous and arrogant about what he has done.
As a courtier, he has no decision-making power, and the eldest grandson Wuji will naturally not be stupid enough to help Li Er get the idea, in this way, he will slowly lose trust, because no one likes it, a person who has no size and helps people make up their minds hastily.
said his irrelevant opinion and strengthened Liu Yuan's role, and the eldest grandson Wuji also found an opportunity to say goodbye and leave.
After the eldest grandson Wuji left, in the huge Lizheng Palace, only Li Er was left to sit quietly in front of the desk, there were a few books, in exchange for weekdays, the diligent Li Erer didn't say a word, and immediately approved the folds, but today was an exception, and he didn't move, and he kept thinking about his daughter's matter.
In the end, how to deal with it, it is best to be happy
After thinking about it for a while, Li Er didn't know why, the clearly visible slap on his daughter Li Lizhi's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart ached again, the culprit was fine, but his daughter suffered for him first, and the boss in his heart was unbalanced, and suddenly, Li Er wanted to see what kind of expression Liu Yuan was now, and couldn't help shouting: "Someone"
"The emperor" A father-in-law on duty immediately pushed the door in and came in, standing respectfully in front of Li Er to listen to the order.
"Prepare the car, I want to go to the prison." Li Er said lightly. (To be continued......)
PS: Everyone thinks there is only one chapter, but in fact, this can be counted as two chapters
