Volume 1 Zhenguan Talent. Chapter 158: She is a son, the only woman she loves
So far, except for Situ Mingyue, he has really not found some mistakes in Li Zhi, Taizong loves his youngest son very much, after all, he is the youngest son of her and Empress Wende, and when he was very young, Empress Wende left him, so Taizong has always felt very sorry for himself, this little son, never wanted him to take the throne, just wanted him to live a chic and relaxed life, not to be constrained by secular government affairs and royal rules.
Therefore, for Li Zhi Taizong, he has always given whatever he wants, and tried his best to satisfy him. But now that he thinks about it, Li Zhi doesn't seem to have asked him for anything. didn't say anything to him, except that every time he came to ask about his homework and help his prince brother say a few words, he has always been indisputable, gentle and elegant.
On the other hand, his other sons and princesses and other princes and princesses all like them the most, and when he watched him annotate the four words under the impeachment of himself, Taizong was very surprised, and he suddenly felt that maybe he was right to be this prince! But it has also been proven.
Li Zhilai is indeed right to be the prince, only he can balance the contradiction between Li Chengqian and Li Tai. He has a benevolent and good heart, and he will never do such a dirty thing like those two evil sons, and when it was time for Taizong to drink the medicine, Li Zhi hurriedly went out to bring the medicine back.
Since Taizong fell ill, he has always been teaching and doing it himself. personally served medicine for Taizong and watched Taizong take medicine. Every moment he was asking the Taizong doctor about Taizong's physical condition, and he tried his best to make Taizong's body recover.
Taizong is very satisfied, but there has always been a pimple, since Sitong Mingyue left, it has been Wu Ruyu who has been serving by Taizong's side, Wu Ruyu has served very well, there is nothing rude. Sometimes it was even better than when Situ Mingyue was there. But Taizong still didn't like her in his heart, and he didn't know why.
He just doesn't like this concubine very much in his heart, as soon as he sees Wu Ruyu, he always feels that something bad is about to happen, Wu Ruyu is not there at the moment, only Li Zhi is waiting by the side, Li Zhi comes back from taking medicine, helping Taizong, and serving Taizong to drink medicine. Taizong said to Li Zhi while drinking the medicine.
"Now you are the crown prince, although you have not yet been divided. But Father, Father is not feeling good now, so there are some things that Father wants to tell you in advance. ”
Li Zhi looked at Taizong and shook his head.
"My father has a long life, don't say such frustrating words, you are digging out your son's heart when you say such frustrating words."
Tai Zhong shook his head, stretched out his hand tremblingly, patted Li Zhi's shoulder and said.
"I know that you have filial piety, and now that I look at your various behaviors, this crown prince position may be the most suitable for you. But you are gentle and generous by nature, and you are prone to compassion. But the throne of the emperor. It's not that easy. As long as you bring this mood to be an emperor. You just can't do it well? The great cause of protecting the country. Now my father wants to tell you. It's time to give up. Be sure to give up. Don't be a woman and do something that is ashamed of the Tang Dynasty. My father guarded the Tang Dynasty for a lifetime. I also hope that my children and grandchildren. can guard this Tang Dynasty. ”
After speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed a few more times.
"I know. You care about Situ Mingyue. She is indeed a good girl. She's a good girl who is transparent and smart. But she is not suitable for the palace, she has a pure heart and knows the world. Able to face any difficulties that are placed on her, but do you know why I let her go? I really don't want these difficulties to accumulate over time. Change her heart and wear away the transparent will in her. The reason why I let her go was to protect his purity. So I also hope that you, don't pick him up. ”
Li Zhi was stunned, and the hand holding the medicine bowl unconsciously pinched the edge of the bowl, Taizong looked at her with some indifferent expressions, and shook his head helplessly with an indifferent and cold expression.
"This is what your father asks of you. Father's greatest wish is that you have good hands in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is prosperous. Keep this prosperous Tang Dynasty. But my father doesn't want you to be trapped by love. The last woman's kindness. Forced to test the use of people. The throne of the emperor has always been lonely. You may think that Zhenyu and your mother are very much in love. But do you know how much your mother endured for your father behind her back? Even if I can stay by her side, I can't be exclusive to her. ”
Li Zhi lowered his head and didn't speak, Taizong knew him best, knew how much struggle and pain he was in his heart at the moment, but as long as he still had a breath, he had to stop Li Zhi, if he wanted to be a good emperor, he had to do so.
"Father, drink the medicine."
Taizong grabbed Li Zhi's hand,
"You can remember what my father said."
Li Zhi looked at Taizong's eyes, still without saying a word, Taizong shook his head helplessly,
"If you are a king, how can you think of those children and daughters?"
"But father, she is a son, the only woman she loves."
After a long time, Li Zhi said such a sentence. Taizong was stunned, he didn't expect Li Zhi to confess to him so bluntly. Taizong turned his head and waved his hand. Let Li Zhi put the medicine down.
Li Zhi stood up and prepared to leave. But at this moment he had already spoken again.
"But now. And in the future. You are already a king. ”
Li Zhi stood in place for a few seconds. Didn't speak. Then left, Wu Ruyu had already come, and when Li Zhi walked out of the door, she was standing by the door, so Li Zhi didn't see her, so Wu Ruyu heard the conversation between Taizong and Li Zhi, and she wouldn't let him take Situ Mingyue back, since she chose to leave. Then leave completely. Wu Ruyu approached the hall, Wang De saw her coming, and reported softly,
"Your Majesty, Wu Meiren is here."
Taizong opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Wu Ruyu, Wu Ruyu walked to Taizong's collapse, saluted, sat on the steps next to the bed, and asked,
"Your Majesty's health looks much better than in the past, and the concubines have been studying medical books every day these days, like the imperial doctors asking for advice, hoping to take care of Your Majesty's body and let Your Majesty recover as soon as possible."
He turned his head to look at Wu Ruyu, patted Wu Ruyu's hand and said.
"Beauty, you have a heart."
With that, he turned his head and frowned. Wu Ruyu knew that Taizong was worried about the conversation he had with Li Zhi just now. Wu Ruyu gently touched Taizong's forehead and said softly.
"Your Majesty, what bothers you? What's there? You can say it like Mei Niang. If you can Mei Niang, Mei Niang, I am willing to relieve His Majesty's worries. ”
Taizong turned his head, looked at Wu Ruyu, pondered for a while, and said.
"There's nothing to worry about, it's just a few trivial things in the court. You don't have to worry about it. ”
