When Sun Cheng and others were painstakingly negotiating peace in the Zhou State, Li Yuan and his entourage arrived at Jinling, the capital of the country after a long absence.

When he returned to his big mansion, looking at the familiar but slightly depressed empty courtyard, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in addition to missing his relatives and friends in Langzhou, the haunting figure soon appeared in his mind.

Emperor Zhou E. The original owner of this house, here has her own memories left, remembering the ambiguous scene of once looking at that shy face at close range, Li Yuan smiled inexplicably, who would have thought that Luo Erhu's seemingly reckless words at that time turned out to be a prophecy, and he hurriedly bought this courtyard in Jinling at the beginning of the day, and it turned out that he really gave a future wife.

Li Yuan's heart was agitated, although he didn't know Emperor Zhou E for the first time, but the fate of the two seemed to be intertwined from this house, and what happened after that was like a dream, he actually met a rare nobleman, the old father-in-law Zhou Zong. This highly respected Zhou stayed behind, not only appreciated himself, but also let himself get what he wanted and marry a heavenly beauty.

But Li Yuan suddenly became depressed again, and he was busy fighting for several months, and finally had a rare moment of calm, and when he thought about it carefully, he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart. Not only has the marriage been delayed so far, but he put forward a request for a concubine before he got married, which once made the Zhou family a whirlpool of rumors, and Emperor Zhou E was also angry with him.

But in any case, Zhou's father and daughter still accepted him, not only promised that the marriage would not change, but Zhou Zong even generously funded him to establish a private army, and tried his best to support him to gain a foothold in the Southern Tang Dynasty......

At this time, Li Yuan's status in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not what it used to be, and he has already adapted to everything in this era, and his mood has gradually changed greatly, and he can't help but be confused, and asked again and again, was his choice that day too reckless?

When Chuzhou saw Wang Jingyao, the emotions that unconsciously poured out, were they caused by the childhood memories of this body, or did they really come from the heart?

But if the truth is love at first sight, the first thing that comes to Li Yuan's mind is Emperor Zhou E, and only Emperor Zhou E......

Sitting alone in the study with his eyes closed, Li Yuan's thoughts were chaotic for a while, and when he had a headache, he suddenly saw Emperor Zhou E and Wang Jingyao walking towards him hand in hand, one with a slender waist and jade with a dancing veil, and the other with a small fan of white orchids, couldn't help but take a deep breath, stretched out his arms towards the second daughter, and began to revel in his fantasies......

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly glanced at the bronze mirror on the side, the dream suddenly woke up, the spring light retreated, Li Yuan suddenly got up and looked at himself in the mirror, shook his head and smiled, the matter has come to this point and I want to do so much, the child makes a choice!

"There is no beauty in the autumn, and it is a beautiful woman to the eye!" Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and then walked towards the door with a calm mind, all in all, the top priority at the moment is to go to the Zhou Mansion to welcome his relatives and return to Langzhou with Emperor Zhou E as soon as possible.

...... Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the front yard, he saw Lin Sichang coming in a hurry, and bowed to himself to report: The emperor has summoned him.

Li Yuan hurriedly turned around, went back to the room and changed into the purple robe given by the emperor, and then did not forget to instruct Lin Sichang: "You lead someone to the Zhou Mansion to hand over the worship post, and this handsome man will go after facing the saint." ”

When he entered the palace to meet the emperor, Li Yuan only brought two personal soldiers with him, and galloped away with Xiao Huangmen, who was waiting in front of the palace.

I thought it was in Chengxin Hall, but today Li Yuan went around and went to a place in the palace called Danqing Temple.

After trembling and pacing inside, Li Yuan quietly glanced around, and found that there were no superfluous people waiting here, and all the maids and eunuchs were standing outside the door, only the emperor Li Jing was leaning over in front of a simple and elegant wooden eucalyptus, frowning, holding a pen, and seemed to be painting with his heart.

This turned out to be a private summons, Li Yuandun felt flattered, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Minister Li Yuan came here to meet Your Majesty!" ”

"Hmmm! Get up! Li Jing still has the same gentle tone as before, but his face is always full of sadness.

Li Yuan got up respectfully, and then didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, just stood quietly beside him, staring at the unfinished landscape painting on the table with the corner of his eye......

Time passed slowly, but Li Jing never spoke, as if immersed in his own Danqing world. Although Li Yuan was a little anxious and helpless, he could only wait for the emperor to ask first.

I don't know how long it took, Li Jing finally put down his pen, then sat down lazily, squinted his eyes and said: "This time Shouzhou quelled the rebellion, Li Qing has made a great contribution again, I am very relieved!" It stands to reason that I should have praised you, but you've been a festival since you're twenty-one, well, I've got a headache! You say, how should I reward you this time? ”

Seeing that Li Jing's smile seemed to be a little deliberate, Li Yuan couldn't think too much and hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare to take credit, but he just relies on His Majesty's heavenly might!" The minister has been deeply favored by His Majesty, how dare he ask for any reward? ”

Unexpectedly, Li Jing suddenly diverted the topic, raised his voice and said: "I heard that after Li Qing's festival, the whole family has been taken to Langzhou. This time I came to Jinling to welcome my relatives, but I was rerouted because of the Shouzhou rebellion, and I didn't go thousands of miles to rescue Liu Renzhan!

Love to read

At that time, the road was blocked by the rebels, and I didn't have time to give an order, and the envoys of the Jiangbei states were all guarding the land, only you, although far away from the town, were still alone in the north! At the age of twenty-one, Wen Tao is equipped with martial arts, born to be a star, loyal to the monarch and protect the country, rare in the world!

Now the whole country is full of praise for you, and even my queen praises you! There are also many ministers in the court, such as Xu Xuan, the secretary of the ministry, who told me that if Li Qing leads the army north to rescue instead of King Yan, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will definitely take a turn for the better, and the Central Plains will definitely be recovered! Oh, King Zheng also went to the recital, and even asked me to follow the story of the Han Wu Weiqing to entitle Li Qing and entrust the important affairs of the dynasty to ......"

Then Li Jing shook his head lightly: "Li Qing, now the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can compare you to my Wei Huo!" However, I feel more and more that this metaphor is not good, although your age is indeed similar to that of Han Zhi Huo Qu's illness, but Huo Qu's illness is not long-lived......"

Li Yuan was shocked for a moment, took a deep breath, thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, how can a minister be shallow in learning, but how can he compare himself to Wei Huo?" The minister came from a humble background, if there was no promotion from His Majesty, how could he be today? The minister does not dare to live up to His Majesty's great kindness, and it is natural for him to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country!

Your Majesty, in fact, the minister traveled thousands of miles to Shouzhou, and he still has a selfish heart, because there is a right wing of the Weisheng Army among the rebels in Shouzhou! Since the minister has received the envoy of the Weisheng command, how can he sit back and watch the rebellion of the soldiers under his command......"

Li Jing's face sank, and suddenly retracted his momentary edge, and just smiled vigorously: "Li Qing is honest, in this way, are you afraid that the Wei Shengjun will rebel, and I will blame you?" That's why it's not far away? ”

Seeing Li Jing's meaningful appearance, Li Yuan didn't think much about it, and replied directly: "Exactly!" Your Majesty, the minister is guilty! ”

"Oh? What is Qing's crime? ”

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, even though the rebellion has ended, it is a fact that the Wei Shengjun rebelled!" As the commander of the army, the minister also received all the affairs of the cantonment, but only took care of personal and private affairs, and failed to take over the right wing of the army as soon as possible, resulting in disaster, so that the soldiers were killed and injured, and the people were in chaos, this is the sinful of the minister, and please punish Your Majesty! ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan deliberately lowered his waist a little more, putting on a very sincere attitude, but for the first time in his heart, he faintly felt strange.

"Li Qing!" After staring at the purple-robed young man in front of him with a nervous expression for a long time, Li Jing's face finally softened, and then he raised his hand and sighed: "Alas! That's it! The right wing of the Wei Shengjun was originally a northerner brought by the rebel general Li Jinquan, and he had long been dissatisfied with the orders of the imperial court, and Li Qing's promotion to lead the army was not long, so I can't blame you for this matter! However, the impact of this rebellion in the three states is huge, and you are indeed suspected of dereliction of duty, so I will allow you to offset your merits! ”

Li Yuan tilted his head slightly, breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "Your Majesty is so generous, the minister has nothing to repay!" I can only do my best for Your Majesty! ”

Then Li Jing said unhurriedly: "Li Qing, a month ago, you asked Wuping to expand the army, and I thought that the Chudi was initially determined, and the Dongxi barbarians were rampant, so it was approved!" Now our army is still fighting with the Han State in Guiguan, the battle on the front line is not settled, and the rear must be peaceful! After you return to Langzhou, you need to live in moderation, and you must appease the people of Chudi not to cause trouble! If you need to send troops to help, I will issue an order with you, in short, live up to my expectations! ”

"Remember! We will live up to Your Majesty's expectations! ”

Hearing the sound of rustling in front of him, Li Yuan couldn't help but look up, but saw Li Jing hand over the landscape painting that had just been completed above the table: "This painting is made by me according to Dong Beiyuan's "Lushan Map", and it can be regarded as a wedding gift from me!" It's a pity that I was in a hurry to achieve this painting, so the brushstrokes were muddy, and it can be seen that it is not a good thing to exert too much force......"

Overexertion...... Before he had time to savor these words, Li Yuan calmed down, and now he just wanted to leave this depressing room quickly, so he arched his hand and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
