Li Yong stepped into the hall with one foot, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had been crying for a long time.

Could it be that he cried all the way from Xie Mansion?

Emperor Yongping frowned and set his eyes on the eunuchs who had just gone to deliver the decree, wanting to ask what was going on.

But before he could open his mouth, he heard Li Yong kneel on the ground with a "plop" sound, and said in a hoarse voice, "Father, the son is guilty." ”

Emperor Yongping was stunned for a moment, feeling that Li Yong seemed to have something to say... So he touched the tip of his nose, simply dispelled the idea of asking, and prepared to wait and see what happened before making a decision.

“…… Although the emperor's grandfather was sensitive and intelligent, smart people often had an Achilles' heel: suspiciousness. Therefore, in the face of His Majesty's wrath, Father, you must preemptively strike without justification, and immediately admit your guilt, which is the fastest way to calm down and start looking at the problem again..."

Li Yong's mind at this time was quickly flashing back to the scene when they were rehearsing in the East Palace before, and his daughter's words had long been remembered by him, word by word, as if they were ringing in his ears at this moment.

Judging by the emperor's reaction, it should be considered a smooth solution.

Li Yong exhaled lightly.

At this time, Empress Changle's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.

Originally, her face was relieved because of her distressed son's crying, but at this moment, she heard Li Yong confess his guilt first, and then a nameless anger began to rise again.

Seeing this, Li Yong hurriedly slammed his head three times, knocked loudly, and when he raised it again, his forehead was already red.

This time, he lowered his voice compared to before, no longer high-pitched, but categorical, "But Erchen just made a mistake for not returning in advance before doing things, and he never did anything that damaged the dignity of the royal family." Erchen is willing to swear to the sky, and he has no intention of including a dusty woman in the East Palace, Queen Mother, Erchen has been wronged——"

“…… The imperial grandmother attaches the most importance to the identity of the family, if you want to suppress her anger, the father must directly find out the relationship with Yun Niang, completely draw a line with her, and then move her as a son..."

Li Yong swore an oath, "Queen Mother, you have always kept the education of your sons in your heart before, and you dare not forget it for a moment, so how can you disobey you for doing such a private thing to take concubines?" Queen Mother, the filial piety of the sons to you has never been seen in heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon can be expressed! ”

“…… It is important to remember that no mother in the world would doubt that her son's affection for her is putting on a show. So don't care what others do, you must convey your filial piety to the imperial grandmother unmistakably..."

Li Yong quietly raised his eyes to peek at the queen, and saw that her face was softened, and then he whimpered in a aggrieved whisper.

Li Yong's appearance was originally more with his mother, not like the other princes who were born with a pair of phoenix eyes, his eyes are big and deep, plus his complexion is fair, and his eyes are red from crying at this time, not only is it boring, but it has his own pity.

"The prince of a country, what kind of system does it become to cry like this? Don't stop yet. Empress Changle looked at him with disgust, and her tone was a little more gentle than just now.

It's not so much a reprimand as a reassurance.

Li Yong understood the truth of accepting it when he saw it, and finally hiccuped a few times, and quickly held back his tears.

And Li Liang, the king of Qin, who had already been stunned, finally recovered from the shock at this moment, and looked at Li Yong with a little more disdain in his eyes.

is so old, and he is still crying his nose to win the sympathy of his father and queen mother, how is this behavior different from a scoundrel?

Li Liang sneered, his father and queen mother ate this set of family cards, but he didn't eat it.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked aggressively, "Since you keep saying that you don't plan to marry Yun Niang, then why do you only admit her to the East Palace and not other women?" ”

"Why did you arrange for her to be the adopted daughter of the Xie family?"

"Why did she start preparing her wedding dress after entering the Xie Mansion?"

"You still say you don't want to marry her?!"

Li Liang stared at his brother with burning eyes, as if he could see through the black abacus in his heart at a glance.

Li Yong squinted at him, he had already lost his previous humility at this time, he straightened his chest and was confident, "I naturally didn't do this to marry her, I did it out of national social considerations." ”

When Li Liang heard this, he laughed angrily.

Then the tone of his voice was raised a few degrees, and he sneered a few times at the top of his throat, "It's really shameless!" Who in the world doesn't know that my Prince Daqi is an idle man who does not learn and has no skills, but he didn't expect that now he would say the four words of the national society in order to protect a woman, and he is really impressed by the ministers. ”

Li Yong arched his hand and smiled shyly, "The fourth brother praises falsely." ”

Li Liang glared and gritted his teeth, "Then you should tell me, a woman, what ability can she have to influence the national society of my Daqi?" ”

When he said this, it made the Empress Changle in the palace feel unhappy. However, Li Liang still realized that he was only concerned about refuting the prince who was babbling nonsense in front of him, and he didn't pay attention to his gaffes at all.

Li Yong rolled his eyes, and asked instead of answering, "Since the fourth brother is holding on to the four words of the country's social security, why don't you tell me first, what is the biggest problem that my Daqi is facing now?" ”

Li Liang snorted, "Naturally, the Turks in the north have repeatedly invaded......

He paused, and his eyes quickly rolled, "You want to send that dusty woman to the Turks and relatives?" ”

Well? And pro?

Emperor Yongping pricked up his ears.

But seeing Li Yong, he quickly shook his head, "The Turkic soldiers are strong and strong, and now they are even more arrogant and have repeatedly violated our borders, killing my Daqi people, and kidnapping my Daqi women and children." To deal with the Turks, we must not show weakness with our relatives, we can only fight! ”

Emperor Yongping subconsciously nodded, excited in his heart.

He's always been the main fighter.

It's just that in recent years, every time there has been such a proposal, it has been opposed by the ministers, and the reason is nothing more than prevarication such as "labor and money" and "insufficient troops", and in the final analysis, it is just because those people are afraid.

After all, the other party is a Turkic, a Mongol, and a strong nation that can be used by ten people as a hundred.

Therefore, the ministers decided that it was not worth it to fight the Turks just for a few border people.

Emperor Yongping sighed silently in his heart, quickly straightened his body, and continued to listen intently to the quarrel between His Royal Highness's two sons.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have a subtle interest in what had begun as a quarrel within the family.

Listening to His Royal Highness Li Liang, he quickly mocked, "If you don't give that woman and relatives to the Turks, do you plan to let her lead the troops to fight?" ”

Li Yong didn't like his tone, frowned and retorted, "What's wrong with the woman?" The previous dynasty was not without precedent for women to lead troops. ”

Then he explained, "But this time I didn't want her to lead the troops, but to marry her to the Liang State in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Liang?

Emperor Yongping was stunned at first, and then stroked his beard, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Li Jin, the king of Shu, hung his head expressionlessly, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh of defeat in his heart.

Only Li Liang was still yelling, "Liang Guo?!" First of all, regardless of the fact that the strength of the Liang State is only half of my Daqi, it is not to be afraid, and it is said that the king of the Liang State, he is notoriously incompetent and extravagant! What are we going to do to be friendly with Liang Guo?! ”
