Temple of Manna.

The sunlight spilled in through the window, but he didn't feel much warmth, Li Er lay motionless on the bed, his eyes were scattered, he didn't know what he was thinking, next to him was a beautiful woman scouting, dressed up, and two palace maids stood behind him, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he didn't dare to come out.

Cai Ren held a bowl of medicinal soup and said softly: "Holy Lord, it's time to drink medicine." ”

"Mei Niang, let it go, I don't want to drink it now."

Li Er said softly, with a little weakness and loneliness, and said with a wry smile: "After all, it is no match for the years, and when I return to heaven, how do you say to settle you?" ”

The talented person was so frightened that Tong Kong shrank slightly, but his face was not shocked, and even with a calm smile: "The saint said that he laughed, the saint's dragon body is temporarily sick, and it won't be long before it can be vacated above the nine heavens, so that people can worship and admire, as for the concubine, thanks to the saint's love, as long as the saint does not give up, the concubine is willing to live and die together." ”

"It's okay, then when I return to heaven, you can go with me."

Cai Ren smiled calmly: "That's the blessing of the concubine." But an unknown chill flashed in the depths of his eyes.

At this time, Wang De hurriedly came in and said: "Holy Lord, the prime minister asks to see him." ”

"The concubine will retire for the time being." The talented man was very discerning and left with the palace maid.

"Xuan! Help me sit up. ”

Wang De hurriedly spoke, stepped forward to help Li Er sit up, and put a pillow behind him for easy leaning.

Soon, Fang Xuanling came in: "Minister, see the Holy Lord, may the Holy Dragon Body recover soon!" ”

Li Er waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, and said: "Wang De, let everyone go down, no one is allowed to disturb, I want to talk to Fang Aiqing well." ”

"Yes!" Wang De agreed and hurried down with people.

"Sit down and talk." Li Er pointed to a Xiudun next to him, and after waiting for Fang Xuanling to sit down, he smiled and said, "You and I are also brothers, without you, I wouldn't be able to leave today, we haven't opened our hearts and spoken for a long time, right?" Thinking back then, the eventful years, how happy, but unfortunately the time has changed. ”

Fang Xuanling knew Li Er too well, there must be something wrong with talking like this, and he didn't want to talk about the old days, so he said bluntly: "Holy Lord, the minister brought a piece of news, Qin Huaidao is on his way back, and it is expected to arrive in Chang'an in about twenty days." ”

"This is the best news I have heard during this time, twenty days is not a short time, but it does take a few days to come from the Turks, the governor of Xizhou has sent news that Huaidao has gone south, and there has been no news since then, do you know the specific situation?" Li Er asked.

"I don't know, the road is far away, and the message transmission is too slow, but it's good to be able to come back."

"Yes, it's good to come back, it means that the kid doesn't hate me, he still has Datang in his heart, he is a good boy, but I owe him too much, when he comes back, you bring people for me, I want to have a good chat with him, at the beginning he proposed a lot of good policies for governing the world, the separation of land rights, the use of relief for OEM, the internship system, etc., and now it seems to be very good, how to go in the future of this Datang, I want to hear his thoughts."

Fang Xuanling is not stupid, where is this to listen to ideas, it is obviously to test whether Qin Huaidao has ambitions, once it feels wrong, I am afraid that he will be added to the axe, right? But I don't want the Tang Dynasty to rise again and the people suffer, so I vaguely reminded: "Saint, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the King of Jin has the appearance of a bright monarch, and the Tang Dynasty will be able to prosper for ten thousand years." ”

"Children and grandchildren are blessed, and they can't do without the virtuous ministers and auxiliary left." How could Li Er not understand Fang Xuanling's hints, but as a parent, how could he not worry about his children? Who doesn't want to clear all obstacles for their children before they die, arrange for all future generations, and leave behind an impregnable empire?

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling is not good at persuading.

Li Er didn't say anything more, and fell into deep thought.

The room was quiet and somewhat oppressive.

"Alas!"

A sigh, with three points of helplessness, three points of bitterness, and four points of unwillingness.

Li Er said slowly: "Xuan Ling, is it really wrong? ”

This is a proposition, where did Fang Xuanling dare to answer, but if he didn't answer, he was suspected of bullying the king, and said with a wry smile: "The saint, the minister is dull, and the wisdom is not as good as the saint, where do you know what is right or wrong?" Everything is based on the judgment of the saint, and the minister can make suggestions and run errands at most. ”

"Do you know what I'm asking?"

Of course Fang Xuanling knew, but he didn't dare to say it, he thought about it, and reminded politely: "Huaidao only wants to be at ease, and has no intention of the temple, and has resigned several times, but it's a pity that the creation makes people." ”

"You mean, I'm wrong?" Li Er's tone was obviously a little colder.

Faced with Li Er's moodiness, Fang Xuanling explained depressedly: "No, the Holy One is right, the Holy One just did what countless emperors of the past dynasties should do. ”

"So he's wrong?" Li Er's words changed.

Fang Xuanling was depressed and didn't know what to say, this question was even worse, if he couldn't answer well, his head would definitely fall to the ground, but when he thought of the injustice Qin Huaidao received, his anger gradually rose, and he sighed: "Shengshang, Qin Huaidao is not wrong, everyone has different positions, and their choices are naturally different, if you have to say right or wrong, it is fate to make people." ”

"It's all said that Fang Mou is broken, I think you are an old slippery head." Li Er's spirit suddenly became a lot better, his eyes began to focus, and he asked with a smile: "What do you say he will do when he comes back?" ”

These words were also a pun, hiding a sharp edge, Fang Xuanling heard the meaning of the strings, and said solemnly: "He is willing to come back, so naturally he has no ideas." ”

"That's right, I'm tired, stand down."

"Yes!"

Looking at Fang Xuanling's back leaving, Li Er's eyes were surging, he didn't know what he was thinking, and shouted for a while: "Wang De!" ”

"In!" Wang De hurried in.

"Xuanyu Zhang!"

"Yes!" Wang De stepped back and left.

Not long after, Yu Zhang hurriedly came in, his eyes full of concern: "Erchen visited his father, how does his father feel?" ”

"I'm like this, where is there anything bad or not? You've got a heart. Li Er smiled, looked at Yu Zhang's eyes with a little more love, and guilt, thinking of the Holy Queen's temporary advice, and asked: "Your mother told you at the beginning, you want your father to treat you well, and you want to be a wishful man, but now it has been delayed again and again, do you have hatred?" ”

"There are no sons, and the marriage is all decided by the parents."

"My father is the king of a country, and it is necessary to consider the country before the family, whether you hate it or not, I like you to understand, Huaidao can return to Chang'an in twenty days, take some time to get married to the two of you, no matter what, that kid is also a character, worthy of my son."

"Is Brother Qin coming back?" Yu Zhang was overjoyed, and his eyes were full of light.

Li Er sighed with emotion, a good cabbage was arched by a pig, nodded indifferently, and his good mood instantly came to naught, but he still told Zhengse: "Father and Huaidao have some misunderstandings, after you get married, let him help him more." ”

"Erchen remembered." Yu Zhang agreed.

Li Er felt that the answer was a little perfunctory, but there was no way, his daughter couldn't be kept when she was older, and no one else dared to marry, offended Qin Huaidao, waved his hand and signaled to leave, full of grievances.

……

Almost at the same time, the house.

The study room was full of friends, several princes came over one after another, sitting together, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Li Junxian, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and Qibi He Li were also invited, all of them were famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, and they were all powerful and powerful.

Fang Xuanling, as the master, sat in the tea making table to make tea for everyone, they were all martial artists, not so particular, sitting around casually, Duan Zhixuan hurriedly said: "Old guys, the old man's health is getting worse and worse, it's only a matter of the past two years, and there is only one request to join forces with you, rescue my son, everything is easy to say." ”

Duan Zhixuan's son Duan Zan followed Qin Huaidao to conquer Tubo, but stayed afterwards, Tubo was chaotic, Duan Zhan's life and death were unknown, and Duan Zhixuan, who was his father, couldn't sit still.

Everyone nodded understandingly, and Li Jing persuaded: "Brother Duan, don't worry, Qin Huaidao can destroy Tubo once, he can destroy it a second time, and rescue people, don't worry, he is already on the way, not bad for these twenty days." ”

"Okay, my son said that Qin Huaidao that kid values love and righteousness and is a credible person, then wait."

Xue Wanche took the opportunity to say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Qin County has a great favor to my Xue family, what do you say, the Xue family will never back down." ”

"It is also my duty to think about the battle to destroy Goguryeo, how heroic and talented the king of Qinxian County was, I really want to fight side by side again, and I have no regrets about dying!" Chelis also said.

Liu Hongji saw that everyone had seen it, and he hurriedly said: "Tubo was lost in the hands of the old man, the old man has no face to see the king of Qinxian County, everyone is an old brother for many years, what do you say, I will respond, but there is one thing, Datang will never allow the smoke to rise again, and it is not easy for the people." ”

"Of course, Datang can have today, with the hard work of everyone present, and chaos will never be allowed, this is the bottom line." Li Jing affirmed.

"Now that we've reached a consensus, let's get down to business." Fang Xuanling took over the topic, and his face was grim.

Everyone sat up straight and got serious.

The tea fragrant birds and birds, but everyone had no intention of tasting it, and they all looked at Fang Xuanling silently.
