Chapter II
King Guangping withdrew from the Taiji Hall and hurried back to the Prince's Mansion, ready to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for peace, Li Jiao felt very guilty when he thought that he had been busy mediating with Yang Guozhong in front of His Majesty for so many days, and had not asked his father for peace.
His father's body was not very good, and he had been conditioning for many years, but now he was framed and grounded by Yang Guozhong, a villain, and his father was in a hurry to attack his heart and liver for a while, and he couldn't afford to get sick.
Thinking of the ruthlessness of the emperor's grandfather in killing his three sons one day in the past, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for his father. Thinking about the fact that my father has been walking on thin ice cautiously for so many years, and he does not dare to participate in the struggle between various parties in the court and China, he is afraid that His Majesty will be suspicious and angry with the entire prince's mansion.
Just as I was thinking about this, a voice came
"His Royal Highness the King of Guangping has come down, if the prince sees it, his illness should be half better!" Li Li smiled, it turned out that he had come to it unconsciously.
"Jingzhong, my father is the king..."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the hard work of His Royal Highness King Guangping and Yang Guozhong, and he also cooperated with the medical officer for treatment, and now he is in good health!" Although Li Li couldn't get used to the flattering face of his father's personal eunuch in front of him, as soon as he heard that his father's condition had improved, he smiled and preached
"Thanks to Grandpa Li's care." After that, he pushed open the door, and saw his father half-leaning on the sickbed, his face was pale, and he looked older and thinner than before, and he forgot to ask for peace for a while, and it was the crown princess who served the decoction by the bedside, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with elegant manners, and slightly chubby, and said with a smile
"Li'er is here." Li Jiao bowed his hand and said: Say hello to my father, queen and mother. The crown prince on the sickbed opened his eyes slightly, smiled, and motioned for the princess to step back, beckoned, and said, "Yu'er, come here, I have something to explain to you for my father." Li Li stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and leaned down
"Father, please speak"
"Yu'er, I heard that my father promised you Cui's permission, what do you think?"
"Father, Cui is Yang Guozhong's niece, Yang Guozhong said that Cui loves me, but in fact it is just a pawn he placed next to me, Cui can marry, but she must not be a princess. Now that traitorous ministers like Yang Guozhong are in power, and there are ambitious people like An Lushan who hold heavy power, my Datang can be said to be an internal and external trouble! The prince nodded
"But Your Majesty is convinced of them, and Lord Yao Chong's previous letter to impeach Yang Guozhong was reprimanded by His Majesty, not to mention others. I heard that Your Majesty has allowed you to watch the selection of the East Palace, what are you going to do? ”
The child thought, since he chose the princess, then the child hoped to choose a woman who was not involved in any partisan disputes in the court and had an innocent background. First, the child does not want to have relatives interfering in politics in the future, and secondly, the child does not want to be led by Yang Guozhong, and the child hopes that the person next to him can be honest with him instead of mutual suspicion and calculation. ”
"Well, it's good to have a good idea, it's easy to find someone who doesn't have a party with Yang Guozhong, but it's difficult not to participate in the disputes of various factions in the imperial court. But don't worry, Lone will keep an eye on it for you. ”
"Thank you, King Xie. The child still had some things to deal with, so he retired first and came back to visit his father another day. ”
"Well, go ahead." Li Jiao got up and said goodbye, turned around and walked out of the door, the prince looked at his son walking away, suddenly felt a sense of relief, smiled slightly, and muttered: "Li'er has grown up, and can share a lot of worries for me..."
