Volume III, Chapter 4

Li Yu didn't speak, just walked to the window step by step. Walking to the window, Li Yu laboriously raised his hand and pointed to a tall building and said to Li Chun, "Look, what is that?" ”

Li Chun raised his head, his eyes shot two eager lights, and replied, "Father, that's Lingyan Pavilion." ”

Li Yu nodded, turned around, and saw that Li Yu was about to turn around, Li Chun hurriedly hugged him and walked back.

"Since I ascended the throne, Ling Yan Pavilion has been there twice. And my father, your imperial grandfather, reigned for more than 20 years, how many times have you been there? ”

Li Chun shook his head. Just as Daizong loved Li Xu, Dezong also loved his eldest grandson, so Li Yu took Dezong as a matter. In fact, Dezong has been there a few times, and he doesn't know at all.

"I know it's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that he doesn't have the shame to go. At the beginning of your emperor's grandfather's ascension to the throne, he alienated the eunuchs, was angry and strong, and used troops to win consecutive battles against the feudal towns of Tubo, at that time, he liked to go to the Lingyan Pavilion like me, liked to look at his portrait on the Lingyan Pavilion, recalled the glory of the ancestor Taizong, and imagined that after pacifying the world, he also left a portrait of his heroes on the Lingyan Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Yao Lingyan led the Jingyuan soldiers to make a rebellion and invaded Chang'an, your imperial grandfather went out on patrol in a hurry, and the soldiers killed the seventy-seven royal relatives of my clan, which was unbearable! Then Li Huaiguang reversed, your imperial grandfather almost thought that the Sheji of the Tang Dynasty was about to die in his hands, and he often burst into tears in the middle of the night. At that time, I was in the army, and every time I saw him like this, my liver and intestines were broken. At that time, you were too young to know any of this. As he spoke, he let out a long breath. Painted and colored, said as if he had seen it in person, and Li Chun's expression also became painful.

After returning to Chang'an, in the face of the dead clan, the loss of the prosperous Chang'an, and the wolf-like feudal town on all sides, he blamed himself every time, lost his former sharpness, and even indulged in fun and deliberately escaped. Except for the image Li Sheng, he has never been to Lingyan Pavilion again. ”

Li Chun wondered, later our father and son accompanied the emperor's grandfather a few times, why did the father say that he never went again? I felt strange, but I didn't dare to say it.

At this time, Li Yu was already fully engaged in the role, and he was completely unaware of a big loophole. After brewing his feelings, he continued:

"From now on, I swear that in the future, I will work hard to reopen the Lingyan Pavilion and complete the business that my father did not complete, so that the world will know that he is actually a wise monarch, so that his soul in heaven can rest in peace. However, after I ascended the throne, I wanted to make great achievements, but I found it difficult. You know why? ”

Li Chun knew it, but shook his head cooperatively. Li Yu didn't intend to wait for him to answer, and continued:

"Because Datang is now a sick man like your original father! A patient who can't speak, can't move! The body can't move because of the square town on all sides; The mouth can't speak, because, because of these so-called house slaves! Do you understand? ”

Li Chun nodded.

"Now, Datang is terminally ill, and in order to fully restore the vitality of Datang, it needs to recuperate, and to completely cure Datang's serious illness, it needs fierce medicine. Now that I have exempted Gyeonggi from taxes, I am preparing for the recovery and recuperation of the Tang Dynasty, and what I am doing now is to remove the cancer for the Tang Dynasty. For the recovery of Datang. Do you understand? ”

Li Chun nodded.

Li Yu turned his head to face Li Chun: "What you said is Lao Cheng's view of holding the country. You have such foresight and a vision of the big picture at such a young age than when I was younger. He will surpass me in one day. This is obviously a hint that Li Chun is going to be made the crown prince. Li Chun was ecstatic and frightened, knelt down and said: "My father is falsely praised, and my son is ashamed." ”

"Get up, yes, what is there to dare not do. I'm not done yet. Although Li Chan said this, Li Chun still didn't dare to stand up.

Seeing a generation of heroes like this, although he knew that he relied on his Lao Tzu to achieve this effect, Li Yu still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Li Yu is actually not at ease with this cheap son, you know, Li Chun due to the influence of eunuchs and conservatives, his political views are different from his father or Wang Shuwen in many places, in history Li Chun exiled Wang Shuwen and others as soon as he came to power, and the two kings and eight Sima people were not reused in the end of the Xianzong dynasty, so Liu Yuxi has a saying that "Bashan Chushui is desolate, and he has been abandoned for twenty-three years". But Shunzong's one or twenty sons, it seems that only Li Chun can be of great use. The reason why he always brings Li Chun with him now is to exert influence, and it is also convenient for Wang Shuwen and others to exert influence. He is now an imposter father, and he has a physical advantage, unlike Shunzong, who can't even speak, and has the conditions to unite various forces with the power of the emperor and establish a united front for the revival of the Tang Dynasty, why not use it? After a few months, seeing that Li Chun was getting more and more on the road, Li Yu was very satisfied.

"If I still can't afford to have a stroke, I'll leave them for you to clean up, but I'm up now. When I got up, I seemed to see the Buddha's light shining in front of me, and a golden Buddha said to me, how can a generation of heroes lie down for a long time? The people of the Tang Dynasty, Lai Ru saved. (Shamelessly deceive, Chiguoguo's deception, however, who told Li Chun to believe in Buddhism, who didn't fool him?) And I saw that the ancestors and fathers seemed to be watching me in mid-air. I know that they expect me to take on this responsibility and revive the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Datang has a lot of disadvantages. I've been thinking about how to solve it since I took the throne. I am not in good health, I don't know when I will go to see my ancestors and ancestors, my ancestors and ancestors let me wake up, not let me go to see them when I have nothing to do, and I can't bear to leave this mess to you and your brothers. The emperor's argument is out of public intentions, and he is very old-fashioned, and I am very happy. I also know that I am not dealing with a herd of sheep to be slaughtered, but a pack of wolves that can eat people. What to do, I already know in my heart, it will not hurt the Tang Dynasty, the emperor just rest assured. In fact, he didn't know if it would be, but the cowhide had been blown out just now, and it was only stiff.

Li Chun knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and when he raised his head, his eyes were already red.

Seeing Li Chun like this, Li Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this. You and I, the father and son, will still be like this in the future, if you have something to say, there is no shying away from it, every way in the army is 'fighting iron brothers, father and son soldiers', Hugh has to learn to do a fake celebrity sour and sour. Get up. ”

Li Chun's heart was moved again. Get up and stand aside.

At this moment, there was a soft sound of footsteps outside, and it stopped before it could reach the bottom of the steps.

Li Yu smiled: "This must be Li Zhongyan." Calculate the time, it should be Ju Wenzhen here. ”

Sure enough, before Li Chun could answer, he heard Li Zhongyan's shrill voice sounding outside:

"Your Majesty, Hussar General Ju Wenzhen asks to see you."
