Chapter 334: Take the golden mean

Li Heng spread out a Persian blanket and sat in the pavilion, and ordered Li Siye to sit opposite, with a palace maid beside him bowing her head and silently making tea.

"It's been almost five years since I said goodbye last time, and today at the court meeting, I heard about Your Majesty's reward for you. In less than five years, you can get rid of the influence of the identity of Li Ying's old department on you, and it is indeed not easy to get to this point, and I am glad for you. ”

At the mention of his dead brother, Li Heng's lips trembled uncontrollably, and Li Siye could see his fear of the shadow of this matter on his face, and he was the only one who could feel this fear the most deeply among all the princes.

Li Siye hurriedly crossed his hands: "Your Highness......"

"No, it's okay. This is what I brought up on my own initiative, and it has nothing to do with you. Li Heng smiled haggardly and took the teacup from the palace maid's hand, and Li Siye also quickly turned around and held the teacup in his hands with both hands.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better to speak, so he said in a prepared tone: "Your Highness, in fact, what I want to say is that your current dormant method of dealing with it does not match your current status. ”

"What else can I do otherwise?" Li Heng smiled bitterly: "The position of the prince is like a sharp sword suspended above my head, it may fall at any time, and the only thing Lone can do is to make Your Majesty not feel my existence." ”

"It won't be non-existent, you are here, the position of the crown prince is imposed on His Royal Highness, everyone will look at your dazzling eyes, how can you hide?"

"It may be true, but ......"

Li Hengyao remembered that when Li Siye was in the palace of his brother Li Yingdong in the past, when the prince encountered an unsolvable problem, and even he thought that the other party could not escape the catastrophe. A small inner rate Qianniu jumped out, turned everything into nothing, turned decay into magic, and successfully resolved the huge debt above Li Ying's head, and since then he has been impressed by this Li Siye.

"Lonely...... I really don't know how to deal with myself, so I asked the general to teach me. Li Heng knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Siye.

Li Siye hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, you must not kill the last general." ”

He took a sip of tea, lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness is familiar with the knowledge, the mandate of heaven is sexuality, the recklessness is the way, the middle way is humanity, and humanity is the way of benevolence." His Royal Highness is in the position of the crown prince, high-profile is prominent, dormant is suppressed, these two are never advisable, only to win is the way to win. Your Highness, think about it, if you are too public, it will make people jealous, but if you are too dormant, it will make people think that you are a yin owl, and the city is quite deep, which will make people more and more jealous of you. What you should show is the strength that you, the crown prince, should have, instead of deliberately hiding it to make people think that you are waiting in hibernation, isn't it a transparent and natural prince, which reassures Your Majesty? ”

Li Heng raised his head and pondered, the flat scarf was cocked back, as if pondering the aftertaste of Li Siye's words just now, and then he smiled indifferently, stroked his palm and said, "Good." ”

"Actually, this degree is all controlled by His Highness himself, I think it is probably that all the forces around you are what the saint sees and allows you to have. Use this as a benchmark to build a team that can respond to any changes that occur. ”

Li Heng praised with his hand: "A word of inheritance, solve the doubts in Gu's heart for many days, Gu wants to thank you for your guidance, and I will drink at the banquet in the palace today, and congratulate you." ”

Li Siye hurriedly crossed his hands and refused: "I just drank a lot in the Lin De Hall after the Great Dynasty Meeting yesterday, and besides, I stayed in His Highness's palace for too long, and it was not very safe, let alone drinking, it is better to eat a few cups of tea and soup, and have a good heart." ”

Li Heng said with a smile: "What the heir said is very much in line with my heart, so I will replace the wine with clear tea." ”

Li Fuguo, who had a shoe rake face, stood not far away, listened to the conversation between the two of them, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: "This person is really modest, what kind of martial artist is stupid, if you are stupid, aren't we all stuttering?" ”

The two chatted in the pavilion for a long time, Li Siye estimated that the time was almost up, got up and said goodbye to Li Heng: "Your Highness, Siye has been bothering for too long, it's time to say goodbye and leave." ”

Li Heng looked depressed and reluctant: "It's a pity, I can't stay with the general for a long time to answer questions for Lonely, and I don't know when we will meet again in the future." ”

"This is simple, when I come to Chang'an next year to make a consummation, I can come to visit His Highness again."

Li Heng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Next year, you may move to the right again, for the sake of the safety of you and me, you must not go straight out like today." When you come to Chang'an next year, I will ask Jingzhong to send someone to contact you, and then I will find a remote corner in the Recommending Blessing Temple, and you and I can meet in the Recommending Blessing Temple when we arrive. ”

Li Siye heard this a little weird, how did he act like a spy joint. Li Heng thought he was disgusted by this, and hurriedly explained: "This is just a temporary expedient measure, it is better for you and me to be careful when we meet." ”

"Okay, see you next year."

"I'll see you next year."

Li Heng sent him outside the gate of the inner courtyard and instructed Li Jingzhong: "Jingzhong, you send one for me to General Li." ”

"Whoa."

Li Jingzhong followed behind Li Siye, and was a little more grateful to him, inviting Li Siye here today, originally holding the idea of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but he didn't expect Li Siye's advice to really work.

Walking out of the side door of the palace, Li Jingzhong bowed ninety degrees and apologized: "I'm sorry, General Li, I didn't tell His Highness, so I invited the general to come and leave the palace, and Jingzhong is here to apologize to the general." ”

Li Jingzhong's approach really disgusted Li Siye, this kind of thing could have been said generously, but he wanted to use this kind of cleverness to lure people into the urn step by step, even if he was willing to operate in this matter, but it felt like he had been tricked.

"It's okay, Jingzhong's father-in-law still can't believe in the heir, and it's understandable to make this decision, but I've always been honest with others, and I hope that my father-in-law can be frank in the future."

Li Jingzhong became more and more ashamed, and said again: "The general's teachings, dare not forget each other, Jingzhong will never be like today in the future." ”

He led the horse from the tethered horse nest on the wall, and said to Li Jingzhong, who was following behind him: "Father-in-law Jingzhong should go back, it's not good to send it too far for others to see it." ”

Li Jingzhong hurriedly turned back, he had been following the prince for a long time, and he was close to the ink, and he also had a sense of vigilance all the time.

In fact, the middle-aged child of the prince is pitiful, with the experience of the three brothers, how can he have a sound normal person's psychology under the shroud of the cold imperial power of losing family affection.

He led the black fat out of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and suddenly thought that this place was not far from the Qinglian Wine Shop in Changle Fang, and he could take this opportunity to visit Li Bai, and it would be better if he could get Mobao.

Relying on the dizzy memory of yesterday, he asked someone for directions, and when he turned into the end of the alley, he smelled the aroma of wine, and the taste was almost inseparable. No wonder Li Bai drilled into this place as soon as he entered Chang'an, and he rushed this incense, how could he not inspire poetry and inspiration.

The shopkeeper stood in front of the wall, with a pile of abacus chips in front of him, placed on the shelf, and it looked like he had the prototype of an abacus. But when the shop was calculating, he picked up the beads drilled from the jade plate and put them on the thin rod.

"Guest, is this going to be a wine?"

"Don't sell wine, what about Li Taibai?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Does Taibai owe you money for the wine, and our Qinglian Liquor can pay it back on our behalf." ”

"No, no, I'm just a friend of his."

"Oh, Li Taibai is not here, he has entered the palace, and now he is a courtier of His Majesty, how can he be as carefree as before."

"That's right." Since he didn't have the opportunity to ask for Mobao, he didn't have the leisure time to stay here, so he turned around and prepared to leave. But I saw the shopkeeper stringing beads on the pole one by one, stringing enough for ten to pick, and adding one bead to the front. He has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't stand it when he sees this situation.

He strode in front of the wine bowl and slapped the wooden platform so hard that it almost knocked the abacus to the ground and turned it into a large bead and a small bead floor.

"Guest! Taibai is not here, you can't be mad with me. The shopkeeper blew his beard in exasperation.

"If you count like this, can you count it to the Year of the Monkey?"

"Year of the Monkey? Why, I will be able to settle yesterday's account by the afternoon. ”

"Forget it," Li Siye rolled up his sleeves: "Take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

"What are you doing with paper inkstones, is it possible that you also want to compose poems?"

"Hehe, composing poetry, can composing poetry help you?"

The shopkeeper replied: "If a great poet like Wang Changling and Gao Shi inscribed poems in our shop, it would increase the reputation of my Qinglian Restaurant, you, hey......"

Despite this, the shopkeeper still took out the jute paper, took the pen and ink used to write the account, and handed it to Li Siye, hoping to see what he could write and draw.

Li Siye took the pen and inkstone, spread the hemp paper on the desk, put the paperweight on the left and right to calm it, dipped the pen and ink with juice, and took a deep breath.
