Chongrenfang's Jinglong View is even more depressed and deserted in winter, the grass and trees in the courtyard have condensed a layer of uneven frost, and on the hard ground under their feet, there are some stubborn grasses that have been frozen to death at birth, only a few tips emerge, and they can still wind out beautiful ice flowers.

Li Siye's six-fold boots stepped from above, and he wore a heavy jujube-colored cloak and walked among the frosty branches, the shaking branches seemed to fall on him as if snowflakes had fallen on him.

He came to the door of the Moon Cave, only to see two Taoist children standing at the door, their hands that were holding on to the dust were red from the cold, so they had to shrink into their sleeves, revealing only the handle and tail of the dust.

Their noses twitched below their noses, but they were reluctant to wipe them with their sleeves, and lowered their heads to hang the brushed pendant out of thin air, and then blew it off with their fingers.

"The visitor is Dr. Li."

"Exactly," Li Siye took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Dao Tong: "Come, use this rubbing, and enter the hall later to take turns to avoid the cold wind, don't always stand outside honestly." ”

The two Dao boys turned their heads and looked with confused eyes as the big man who needed His Highness to wait passed by them like a gust of wind.

He walked into the hall, bypassed the statue in the center, and stepped on the old wooden staircase to the second floor, where he could see the bronze bell hanging above the main hall, which was so high that his eyes seemed to be looking at the second floor, and he felt a sense of urgency.

He had already heard the sound of tea clattering from a certain door room, and the people inside also heard his footsteps, and took the initiative to open the lattice door, and sure enough, it was Li Mi, who was wearing a cyan flowing cloud robe, standing at the door, saluting and forking his hand.

I haven't seen him for so many years, Li Mi has undergone great changes in appearance and temperament, and a handful of beard has grown above his lips, which makes him look more mature and stable.

"Doctor Li, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have made great achievements and are extremely glorious."

"The words are inappropriate, the meritorious deeds can be added, the glory is too famous, and all the glory in the world is saints."

His gaze bypassed Li Yu, who was standing at the door, and directly saw the crown prince Li Heng, who was sitting cross-legged inside, and then bowed to the prince and said, "The last general, Li Siye, will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Heng sat up with his body on his side to support the ground, slowly came to Li Siye, held his hand and said with emotion: "I haven't been able to see it in recent years, but I have heard a lot about the general's deeds, and now that you have returned from the victory of the expedition, it is a pity that you have not been able to congratulate you in person." ”

In the face of the prince's affinity, Li Siye did not have too many waves in his heart, the former loyal king, the current prince has experienced the utilitarian nature of treating people and things in the struggle and defeat again and again, and every move has its purpose.

Naturally, he couldn't look too bland, and bowed down again and said, "Your Highness's kindness, the heirs dare not bear it." ”

Li Heng smiled sparsely, turned around and pointed to the sheep felt spread on the ground and said, "General Li, please sit down, Gu still has a lot of old things to tell you." ”

Li Siye also did not shirk anymore, kneeling diagonally opposite Li Heng, Li Mi sat beside the two of them, taking care of the tea soup in the tea pot, he pinched the lid with the linen cloth with his white fingers, stirred it a few times with iron chopsticks, and then knocked on the bell to make a clear sound.

Li Mi filled each of them a cup of tea and placed it in front of them.

"Thank you."

Li Heng looked up at the partition and beams on the roof, and felt a lot in his heart, and then thought of the white hair that could not be concealed under his head, and finally said sadly: "Recalling the past, it is not only us who sit in this Jinglong Temple, but also the teacher He Supervisor, Huangfu Weiming, his wife and brother Wei Jian, Wang Zhonghei, Li Shizhi, but unfortunately the world has changed, and now there is only us left." ”

Li Mi sat next to him and his fingers shook violently, threw down the teaspoon in his hand, and hurriedly turned around to comfort the prince: "Your Highness, don't be too sad, if it weren't for their sacrifices in the past, we wouldn't be able to sit here today, you still have me by your side, and General Heiye." ”

Some Li Siye did not agree with Li Mi's words, some of these people who left should not have been sacrificed, and they may have been hit by Li Linfu again and again because of their indifference to their sense of self-security, and they paid for their lives.

In the end, it was the emperor's distrust of his son that Li Linfu was able to find a gap in this rift in family affection and continue to expand his roots.

Li Siye also opened his mouth to comfort Li Heng: "Your Highness, Changyuan is right, people can't always live in the past, nor can they be affected by the shadow of the past, everything we do is dormant and patient, for the present, but also for the future." ”

After Li Heng listened, he raised his sleeve to wipe the tears at the corners of his eyes, Li Siye squinted his eyes and watched, wondering if Li Heng was also a performance, deliberately showing his emotional and nostalgic side in front of himself and Li Yu.

He also wondered if the prince should not be so good, if he really had Uncle Liu's various acting skills and abilities, at least his past situation would not seem to be so unbearable.

"What Si Ye said is very right, Lone shouldn't just think about the past, he should think more about what to do in the future?"

Li Siye said in his heart that this is just a kind of chicken soup for the soul, and if you want to hear it, I still have a lot in my stomach.

Li Mi took a sip of the tea and started today's topic: "Since the rebellion of Wang Welding, Li Linfu has begun to be alienated by His Majesty, and Yang Guozhong has begun to be a saint. The next thing we can do is to secretly help Yang Guozhong and completely bring down Li Linfu. ”

Overthrowing Li Linfu and supporting Yang Guozhong is actually to bury the prosperity situation according to the predetermined track. But is there any other way? Li Linfu has a short life, even if he doesn't need Yang Zhao to bring him down, he will withdraw from the stage of history sooner or later. Due to the exclusion of dissidents during the reign of this narrow-minded prime minister, the prime minister's team within the DPRK and China was already empty, Chen Xilie and Wei Jiansu were only willing to make no decisions, and Yang Guozhong was ambitious and talented. The dictatorship of people without virtue and ability will cause the entire society to enter a state of decline.

There is no reliable person around the emperor, so even a useless person like Yang Guozhong can dictate the dynasty and do whatever he wants.

Li Heng turned his head and asked Li Siye: "Does Dr. Li have any opinions on this?" Dr. Li? Doctor? Inheritance?"

It seemed that he had fallen into deep thought, and Li Heng called three times before he woke up and turned around and crossed his hands: "What does Your Highness command?"

Li Heng sighed and said, "What do you think about us secretly helping Yang Guozhong deal with Li Linfu?" ”

"Your Highness, I beg your pardon." Li Siye clenched his fists with both hands and let go: "Li Linfu will be confused." ”

"Huh? What? ”

"When I say this mushy, I mean it's over. He has been in charge of the government for 16 years, and he has spent most of his energy and holy favors, and now Yang Guozhong's rise is enough to show that His Majesty has lost his support and patience with him. Once the signs of loss of power appear, for a person who has been in power for a long time, the loss and pain of powerlessness will become the last straw that overwhelms him. ”

After saying this, Li Siye said in a solemn and firm tone: "The only question now is that sooner or later Yang Guozhong will succeed Li Linfu as prime minister, but Your Highness, think about it, compared to Yang and Li, will he behave worse and drag Datang into the quagmire." ”
