Chapter 9 Ancestors and grandchildren are heart-to-heart

Li Ping'an's pupils shrank slightly, it seemed that everything was the same as he thought, his grandfather was really not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

And the emperor of this Qi country is not as wise as he thinks, and he can have no suspicion with his courtiers. But this is also normal, after all, the most important part of the imperial power technique is balance. And at this moment, the status of the Li family has obviously reached the point where it is enough to break the balance.

"Grandfather, grandson promises you. The grandson has never thought about those things, the grandson just wants our Li family to be safe. ”

Li Ping'an understood that his grandfather could not forget the great kindness of the former emperor to the Li family, so his grandfather was afraid that if Emperor Qi was unfair to the current Li family in the future, it would cause him to be dissatisfied and even resist!

Li Yi looked at him and nodded, and after touching his head, he said abruptly:

"Actually, over the years, I haven't had the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, after all, I have won so many battles. But whenever I stop the enemy army and get a big victory, I can take advantage of the situation to pursue, there will always be a situation where the grain and grass soldiers are not dispatched, at first I really thought that something was wrong in the middle, and I was furious, and His Majesty even beheaded some officials because of this! But as I got more and more, I gradually realized something. Your Majesty thought I had been kept in the dark, but I knew it, but I couldn't show it. Because once that happens, the delicate relationship between me and Your Majesty will be broken, and the Qi country will be plunged into an even greater crisis at that time. ”

In the end, Li Yi's eyes slowly closed, and his tone was full of sadness.

Li Ping'an was silent, his grandfather's life seemed to be brilliant and dazzling, but only he knew the sadness and helplessness. The failure of the Neng Chen to meet the Lord is indeed the greatest sorrow.

"I can actually understand many things, but I have never talked to anyone, and I have held it in my heart for decades, so they still think that I am still a rough general who knows nothing but marching and fighting." Li Yi sighed softly.

"Hehe, grandfather, don't worry, it's okay now, grandfather can talk to his grandson if he has anything. Let's share happy things together, and grandchildren can share their worries for their grandfather when they are unhappy~" Li Ping'an stepped forward and held Li Yi's big hand and said.

"Hehe, no wonder you can always coax your grandmother so happy, you little mouth, you can really speak." Li Yi rubbed his head with his big hand and said with a smile.

"Hee-hee, that's because my grandmother likes me in the first place, so no matter what I say, my grandmother will be happy. So, now that the emperor has always been suspicious of his grandfather, why should his grandfather continue to do this thankless thing, if they want to marry, let them marry, grandfather just rests and enjoys some family fun in this Yanyun City, why not? ”

Li Yi's mouth opened slightly, but he didn't speak.

If he said that he would rest and enjoy the joy of family, why would he not want to? But he is a person who values love and righteousness, and the emperor was really kind to him and the Li family. It can be said that if it were not for the many exceptional promotions of the former emperor, it would not be possible to have the glory and glory of the Li family now, so every time he thought that the promise to the former emperor had not been completed, he would feel guilty, and how could he be willing to retreat.

But now, it's obviously not something he can't do if he doesn't want to.

"Grandfather, it's not wise to do it when you know you can't do it." Li Ping'an naturally understood what Li Yi was struggling with, so he said softly.

Li Yi glanced at him, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Hehe, okay, I've been listening to my old man talk to himself for a long time, and it's time to hear what you, a little prodigy, have to say." ”

Seeing Li Ping'an paused, Li Yi smiled and said, "What? You say you're a little prodigy, so you can't fool my old man, right? ”

"Of course not." Li Ping'an shook his head.

"Then you said that you have been hiding it for so long, but today you suddenly mentioned it to me, there should be something you want to say to me, right? Tell me, you've listened to my grandfather and me for so long, and now it's time for me to hear you what you think. Li Yi sat on the chair, looked at Li Ping'an and smiled.

Li Ping'an nodded, then looked at Li Yi and said, "Actually, what I want to say has already been said just now, since the emperor wants to temporarily remove the threat of the border of Qi through marriage, and he is afraid of his grandfather's power. Then the grandfather simply took advantage of the situation and temporarily retreated to Yanyun City, which could not only make the emperor calm down, but also allow the Qi Kingdom to take this opportunity to recover his vitality. After all, after years of war, I believe that no country is already exhausted at this moment. ”

"Alas, yes, to say that the Qi country back then was fine. Today's Qi country has long lost the ability to unify the world, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see that day in my life~" Li Yi sighed.

"Grandfather, don't be so pessimistic! I also said it, just to let you go back temporarily, not that you can't go back to the battlefield in the future! Now that you and Qi are recuperating together, there will be a day when you will go to the battlefield again! ”

"Hehe, you don't have to comfort me, my grandfather is old after all, once he retires now, how can he still fight in another five or ten years?" Li Yi shook his head and said.

"I'm not comforting, I'm telling the truth! Grandfather, you don't have to be so pessimistic, have you forgotten General Tianwei during the period of the First Emperor? People can still go to war at seventy! And you're only in your early fifties, and your grandson thinks you're going to live a long life, so you're still very young! Li Ping'an said seriously.

"Haha! It's the first time I've heard someone say I'm young! Hahaha! Okay, then grandfather can ask you for good words! Li Yi laughed happily, after all, what else can be said to be happier to be praised by his grandson for being younger?

Li Ping'an also smiled on the side, he didn't say this to make Li Yi happy, but from the perspective of his modern cognition, his grandfather's age is indeed not old, and he is a person who practices martial arts, and he can prolong his life.

"Hehe, in fact, I have already had the idea of retreating, but I have always been a little unwilling in my heart. Now that Your Majesty has the intention of marrying, and my good grandson also says so, then I will go to the Ming Sage tomorrow and retreat to Yanyun, so that they can also fulfill their wishes. Li Yi said with a smile.

Then he changed his words, looked at Li Ping'an with a strange expression, and said: "Okay, now that my affairs are finished, then it's time to talk about you." ”

"My business?" Li Ping'an was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, at today's banquet, Lao Yang mentioned one more thing to me, which is about you." Li Yi said with a wink at him.

Li Ping'an smiled bitterly, he already knew what Li Yi was going to say.

"You proposed to your grandfather, right?"

"Huh? How do you know? Li Yi asked in surprise, could it be that this kid still has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet?

"I've seen it in the backyard, Grandfather Yang's granddaughter, Yang Yanyu." Li Ping'an smiled bitterly, not only have I seen it, but it also caused people to cry bitterly.

"Oh, I see, what do you think?" Li Yi asked curiously.

"Hmm... I think this should be the emperor's intention, and it can be regarded as a disguised means of appeasement. Let your grandfather let you put down your military power first, and then let Zuo Xiang's granddaughter marry into our Li family, so that our Li family's heart will not be too unbalanced..."

"Phew! Who asked you this? ”

Li Ping'an was talking eloquently, but Li Yi interrupted him with a disgusted expression.

"Who wants you to tell me this, why do you little boy think about these tricks in your head all day long, like an old man? What do you think of other people's granddaughters? Who told you to care about what, Your Majesty, Old Man Yang, what did they think? ”

"Huh?" Li Ping'an looked at Li Yi blankly.

"I've seen Yang Yanyu a few times, he has a good look, sharp teeth, and is as eccentric as you. Although she is six years older than you, a female junior holds gold bricks, and a bigger girl has a bigger advantage. How, do you have any thoughts about other people? Li Yi asked with a smile.

"Huh??" Li Ping'an opened his mouth wide again.

"Ahhhh I'm asking you! ”

Li Ping'an smiled bitterly, how could this old man suddenly seem to be a different person, how... Why is it suddenly so bad?

"But grandfather... I'm only six years old, and I haven't thought about it yet," he said helplessly.

"Six? You now know that tell me you're six years old? When you talked to me just now, I didn't think you were a six-year-old kid at all, but a sixty-year-old man! And what about six-year-olds? There are so many people who get married and have children at the age of twelve or thirteen, can't you fight for some anger? Li Yi said with a glare.

"I..." Li Ping'an was speechless, he understood, how could this old man be looking for a daughter-in-law for him? This is clearly looking for a great-grandson for himself, right?

"Okay, anyway, no matter what you think, I've already taken this family business." Li Yi waved his hand and said very boldly.

"Huh?! Should you get down? So you ask me what I've been doing for half a day? Li Ping'an's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt as if he had been tricked.

Li Yi pursed his lips and said, "Can't I just ask?" It's best if you like nature, and you can't help if you don't like it. After all, Lao Yang personally opened his mouth and sent all his granddaughters over to you as concubines, if I don't agree again, isn't that a slap in the face? ”

Li Ping'an suddenly realized, it turned out that his grandfather was embarrassed to refuse, so he took over this family affair for him, no wonder he always asked himself what he thought of others!

Although Li Ping'an is not a hypocritical person, he also understands the truth that the matchmaker said that his parents are destined for him, but he still feels that this kind of thing is a little unfair to Yang Yanyu after all! After all, she is the granddaughter of Zuo Xiang, not to mention marrying a child six years younger than herself, but also being a concubine, what does this make people think? No wonder she cried like that when she heard her words, she cried like that. So he spoke again:

"But... After all, she is the granddaughter of Zuo Xiang, and marrying me as a concubine is not a little too wronged by others? If she marries someone else, she may be treated better and meet a more suitable person..."

"! What kind of wife or concubine, it makes no difference when it comes to our Li family, our old Li family has always been the same! On the contrary, it's you, if you dare to bully someone's granddaughter because of this, you see that if I can't pump your ass, it's over! Li Yi didn't let him finish at all, interrupted him with a wave of his big hand, and then glared at him and said.

Li Ping'an: "??? ”

Li Ping'an was suddenly so angry! I sang to him with a white face, and in the end I felt like I was the big villain! You're amazing, you're high! In that case, why didn't you just let someone be your wife in the first place? Do you want to make her a concubine?

However, he naturally only dared to mumble these words in his heart, and if he said them, he was afraid that he would not be able to run away from the pain of flesh and skin.

Now that the old man has made up his mind about this matter, it won't help him to say more, so let's talk about it later.

And now, he still has one more thing to wonder about.

"Grandfather..."Li Ping'an looked at Li Yi and suddenly shouted softly.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yi was immersed in the fun of finding a good granddaughter-in-law for his grandson, and asked casually.

"How do I think you're not too surprised that I told you that I'm a prodigy?" Li Ping'an asked suspiciously.

If someone suddenly knows that his child is a child prodigy, will he really be as calm as his grandfather?

Hearing this, a strange expression suddenly flashed on Li Yi's face, but he didn't answer directly, just waved his hand and said:

"Okay, that's all for today, I'm a little tired. By the way, you are ready to prepare for the next two days, and tell your mother that I will take you out on a long trip in a few days, and you will know by then. ”
