Chapter 294: Father and Daughter (Summoning a Monthly Pass)
The eldest grandson Wuji was temporarily confined to the mansion by Uncle Li, and the eldest grandson Chong Qianye had been taken into prison in Dali Temple. The eldest grandson Wuji will definitely worry about his son, because the eldest grandson has already dragged him into this rebellion.
I just had to watch the rest as a spectator. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the rebellion of two sons, a younger brother, a favorite general, and several concubines almost broke down Uncle Li, I am a little worried, but I believe that Uncle Li will be able to persevere, and he will definitely survive this difficulty.
The interrogation was still going on, and I only faintly heard some words leaking from the old man's mouth, and Hou Junji's mouth was the first to be pried open, and he admitted the fact that he had conspired against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Toshiro, what's wrong with you? Looking at your expression, it doesn't seem to be happy at all. The palace maid's hand gently caressed my cheek and whispered in my ear, the fragrance of the spit was like a spring breeze, gently soothing my heart.
"I don't know what's going on, I always think it's too despicable?" Although I am very cheeky, resentful, love to take advantage of others' small preferences, and like to fool people, I never thought that one day, I would use such means to deal with others, this kind of practice is really too unrecognizable, I feel a little ashamed, damage to the image of my generation of writers.
The palace maid's eyes looked at me quietly, like a window, and outside, was the calm lake: "Junlang, you are for your own survival, and we, and Junlang, your unfinished ideals, you are doing all this, you are right." Don't forget what you said, you are the backbone of our family, you must not have other ideas. ”
The firm voice of the palace maid made me relax, closed my eyes with satisfaction, and snuggled into the arms of the palace maid sister: "Zhao'er, thank you, no matter what, for you, and for myself, no matter what I need to do for all this, I will not escape." ”
---------------------------------------------------- interrogation took a whole month, in fact, in just three days, most of the people who were locked up confessed to their crimes, only a few diehards in front of Changsun Chongqian gritted their teeth and refused to admit it, however, Changsun Chongqian was still seen by Uncle Li in the face of his daughter, as well as his brother-in-law, and let Changsun Chongqian go, but, still removed him from the official position of Zongzheng Shaoqing and a position, and only retained his official rank of lieutenant of the horse, for which the eldest grandson Wuji was also demoted to a higher rank, and failed to participate in the trial of the prince's crime of treason, which cannot but be said to have changed history.
Uncle Li ordered my father, Xiao Yu, and Li Ji to investigate the matter. After checking the truth, a month later, Uncle Li issued an edict to abolish the crown prince Chengqian as a concubine, locked up in the right leading military mansion, and gave the Han king Yuanchang to commit suicide. Hou Junji, and the prince had close contacts with Zhao Jie, the grandson of Tang Gaozu and the stepson of Prime Minister Yang Shidao, Du Ruhui's son, Tang Taizong's concubine Du He, and Li Anyan and others were all beheaded in the city. Zhang Xuansu, the prince's left concubine, and other officials in the Eastern Palace were dismissed as concubines because of their ineffective assistance to the prince, and Du Zhenglun escaped this catastrophe because he had already been demoted by Uncle Li to the Guzhou Assassin History. And the dead Su Gan Chenggene was posthumously awarded the title of Lieutenant of Youchuan Mansion and the Duke of Pingjian County. It can be regarded as a good name.
At night, in the palace of the King of Jin, Li Zhi and I sat face to face, this is an elegant water pavilion, I was sipping wine with Li Zhi, looking at the sparkling glass water, feeling the cool breeze at night. "Xiaozhi, you invited me to eat and drink today, don't you have anything to tell me?"
"There is a point, in fact, this is the case, Xiaozhi just wants to ask the master." Li Zhi first glanced around, lowered his voice and said in my ear: "Yesterday, my uncle called me to come to the mansion for a gathering, but he didn't say anything, just asked me to study more, stay in the mansion well, and go out to make friends." He also told me that my fourth brother is now walking around in front of my father very frequently. ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, and looked up at Li Zhi: "It seems that your uncle has seen a glimmer of hope." ”
Li Zhi wrung his hands nervously: "Hope? ”
I nodded: "The more Wei Wangtai moves, the quieter you will be, you will do whatever your uncle tells you to do, although this incident, your uncle was also involved, but, judging from the fact that he was only demoted to the first level, your uncle can still gain the trust of His Majesty, so his big tree is your best umbrella at the moment." ”
"Brother Kejun, aren't you also Xiaozhi's master? Why do you always ask me to listen to my uncle? Li Zhi lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"This is an opportunity, what is my official position as a teacher, although I have your father's favor, but I am not very old, my official position is low, and I have no intersection with the ministers of the DPRK, and I am still a foreign minister, but your uncle is different, he has known His Majesty since he was a child, and he was the first to follow His Majesty, his words will be listened to very carefully, plus your uncle has been in the DPRK for many years, and has become a party of his own, the minister of the DPRK and the Central Government, make friends with your uncle, he will help you, and you will have a chance. Do you understand? Although you must listen to your uncle now, but in the future, if you can ascend the throne as emperor, at that time, who will listen to whom, and it is not up to you to decide? ”
Li Zhi nodded again and again: "Thank you Brother Jun for your teachings, Xiaozhi finally has a bottom in his heart." ”
"However, don't be too happy too early now, your fourth brother Wei Wangtai is still watching from the sidelines." I chuckled at Li Zhi. We can't let him report too much hope, the greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment.
"Okay, okay, girl, it's very good for my father, it's just that I had a headache just now, and I'm covering it badly here." Uncle Li snuggled on the low couch and said to Li Shu who was feeding him the decoction, I sat on the side and watched Li Shu pick up the spoon and feed Uncle Li rice porridge one by one. ”
Uncle Li smiled bitterly: "If they all knew that they were distressed fathers like you, how could they end up like this, these little beasts." ”
"Dad, you're scolding again, and if you scold me again, you're really gagging you with a spoon." Li Shu said angrily, his beautiful eyes widened, and he gestured with a spoon in front of Uncle Li's mouth very murderously. Uncle Li rolled his eyes helplessly: "Cheng, don't scold, I'm afraid of your daughter, can't I, be a father?" ”
Li Shu smiled like a little fox who had eaten a chicken: "Dad, did you say this about your own daughter?" Come, open your mouth, and take another bite. ”
Father and daughter, this is like father and daughter, Uncle Li seems to get along with his son in the wrong way, otherwise why would they all treat him as enemies.
"Okay girl, I can't eat anymore, by the way, there's nothing wrong with my body these days, right?" Uncle Li stopped Li Shu's plan to stuff the fourth bowl of rice porridge into his stomach, and changed the topic with a full sigh, it seems that poor Uncle Li is a little bit supported by Li Shu's cramming action.
"Of course it's okay, is Daddy really full?" Li Shu was still hesitating whether to stuff the fourth bowl of porridge into Uncle Li's stomach as well. "I'm full, I'm really full, by the way, you haven't eaten yet, son-in-law, come, eat this bowl quickly, it's a waste to keep it." Uncle Li squeezed his eyes at me vigorously, yes, it looks like let's pretend to be a good person.
----------------------------------------------------"My son-in-law is really hungry, thank you father-in-law." He took the bowl from Li Shu's hand, pulled it into his mouth in a few big mouthfuls, and smashed his mouth: "Well, Sister Shu's porridge is getting more and more flavorful the more you cook it." Hehe......"
Li Shu heard the compliment, and glanced at me diligently: "If Junlang wants to eat, the concubine will cook it for you every day." ”
Uncle Li couldn't get used to us flirting and scolding in front of him, so he couldn't help but snort and said: "Okay, okay, the old man is still here, look at the two of you eyebrows, the old man feels uncomfortable, oops, I'm your father!" Why are you pinching me? ”
Li Shu blushed and glared at Uncle Li angrily: "Who flirts and scolds, hum!" Don't bother to pay attention to you, I'll go see my sisters. Li Shu's slender figure dragged his long skirt and left the main hall.
"This girl, do you still know how to blush? Hahaha......" Uncle Li laughed loudly, and I had to laugh at the old rascal.
Uncle Li glanced back at me: "Virtuous son-in-law, my daughter is pregnant, but if she wants to give birth to a good body, the old man is still waiting to hold his grandson." I nodded and said respectfully, "Father-in-law, don't worry, my son-in-law will definitely do it." ”
The smile on Uncle Li's face gradually dissipated, and he sighed lightly: "Alas, the old man doesn't know what's going on, why none of these sons can save me snacks." ”
"Father-in-law, it's most important for you to take care of your health, Datang, I can't live without you." I whispered comfortingly. Uncle Li shook his head with a wry smile and was about to speak, when a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has come to visit you. ”
"Oh?" Uncle Li glanced at me and nodded, "Let him in." "Then father-in-law, please rest in peace, the son-in-law will retire first, and I will go to teach a few highnesses in a while." I hurriedly said goodbye to Uncle Li.
"It's okay, you sit down for a while, Tai'er is also your uncle, why not meet each other?" Uncle Li laughed. I had no choice but to continue to sit upright, waiting for His Royal Highness to appear.
