"Huh? Brother Yuan, do you know what kind of exercises the Emperor Taishang practiced? ”

Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It is said that when the Emperor Taishang was young, he accidentally fell into a pit on the top of a high mountain and learned it, this exercise is to the yin, more terrifying than crying blood, what is the truth, I don't know, after all, the Emperor rarely does it."

"Well, then I'll go back, where are you going to wait for me?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled lightly: "Don't look for me, it may take a long time for me to come out this time, I hope that when I return, Brother Yunxiao has already made a bigger name." ”

After hearing what he said, Li Yunxiao touched his chin and teased: "Brother Yuan, you have a problem!" ”

Yuan Tiangang was slightly stunned: "What's the problem?" ”

Li Yunxiao was puzzled: "Although you didn't let me be an official, why do I think you have been letting me get in touch with the affairs of the imperial court, what is your little secret?" ”

Yuan Tiangang's face was stunned and he shook his head: "No." ”

"Really?"

"Not really."

When the words fell, Yuan Tiangang urged: "Hurry back, I'm going to set off to find medicine." ”

"Okay, you keep the money, I won't bring it."

Li Yunxiao handed the silver two behind him to Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang stretched out his hand to take it and nodded.

"Okay, be careful on the way back."

"Okay, you too, if you go to another country, bring me some souvenirs."

"Alright, got it."

The two laughed and parted ways.

....

Four days later.

Chang'an City, inside Hongyi Palace.

Li Yuan's face was slightly pale and he sat in the gazebo.

Sitting opposite him was Li Shimin.

Since Xuanwumen, for more than a year, this picture has almost never existed, and today, they seem to have unloaded the previous things with each other, just like a normal father and son, playing chess.

Li Shimin fell down with a white son, and said lightly: "My father's complexion has been getting worse and worse recently, and my son has the courage to ask, where has your blood gone?" ”

Li Yuanzhi fell as soon as the black son fell, and replied in a flat tone: "When you are old, your qi and blood are naturally negative, besides, doesn't my son know what are the disadvantages of practicing for his father?" ”

"It's good to be able to live for so long as a father, but if you were an ordinary person, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to support it a few years ago."

Neither of them mentioned life and death, but they did not leave life and death.

Li Shimin could hear that Li Yuan was very open to life and death, and this was also where he was confused.

There is also a game agreement between the two, and logically speaking, at this time, his father should not be like this.

Li Shimin suddenly looked up at Li Yuan.

"That being the case, then what do my father and Li Chunfeng want to do when they go to the Tianshan Sword Sect?"

When Li Yuan heard this, he paused slightly.

Li Shimin added: "Father doesn't think that the people in my Lingyan Pavilion are all wine bags and rice bags, right?" ”

Li Yuan also raised his head and looked at Li Shimin at this time.

"For my father's life, this chess game naturally has to be played with you, otherwise, wouldn't you be alone?"

"Oh? Father thinks that Li Yunxiao can play against me? ”

Li Yuan smiled lightly and said slowly: "Maybe not now, but what if you add Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng?" ”

"Hahahaha... Father, if you want to provoke your sons, then you will miscalculate. ”

"Who can match Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's loyalty to their sons?"

Li Yuan slowly put down his son and said in a condensed voice: "Is it your loyalty, or is it to Datang?" ”

Li Shimin suddenly paused, and Li Yuan said a point that even he didn't dare to confirm.

"Whatever my father wants to express, just say it directly."

Li Yuan said with a smile at this time: "Shimin, things in the world are changing, if you want to control people's hearts, you can't blindly reward, but you have to set up your heart for them." ”

"Then Li Yunxiao doesn't eat soft and hard, how can Erchen make up his mind for him?"

"Let him be an official!"

"For an official? Oh, my father didn't know anything, and his sons had long wanted to promote him as an official, but Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were both obstructed, so Li Yunxiao was not here, and if he was forced to persecute him, it would be counterproductive. ”

Li Yuan frowned slightly and closed his eyes.

"Before my father dies, I will help you."

"You want to help me?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he naturally didn't believe it.

But before he could ask anything, he saw Li Yuan wave his hand and let him leave.

"That's the end of today, this chess game, another day, we are continuing."

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan deeply, he understood that in this chess game, maybe there would be a different person next time.

But who it is, he doesn't know, and he has no interest in knowing, in his concept, no one can play against him, even Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, they can only be regarded as marginal spectators.

Li Shimin got up and asked, "My father's move is to admit his son?" ”

Li Yuan shook his head.

"If you want your father to admit defeat in front of you, you're too tender."

"Heh, maybe, in your eyes, Erchen will always be a child who doesn't grow up."

The words fell, and Li Shimin left slowly.

Li Shimin, who walked outside the door, frowned, he wanted to know what kind of medicine Li Yuan sold in this gourd, and what was the way to make Li Yunxiao an official in Datang.

And Li Yuan's current physical condition is visibly weak, if the other party can't witness the prosperity of the world under his governance, then he will have some regrets in his heart.

The more Li Shimin thought about it at this time, the more irritable he became, sighed fiercely, waved his sleeves, and returned to his residence unhappily.

After he left, in the courtyard of Hongyi Palace, Li Chunfeng waved a folding fan and walked out.

"It turns out that the Emperor Taishang is planning to play the emotional card with my brother Yunxiao?"

Li Yuan nodded.

"In this way, there is no other way, remember what you promised me, you and Yuan Tiangang should not be involved in the competition between him and the people."

"Actually, you should talk to my brother Yuan about this matter."

Li Yuan sneered: "With him? With his rigid appearance, even you have a headache, and he will listen to my words. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan stood up with his hands behind his back, his eyes staring at Li Chunfeng.

"I already knew what his nature was, even if he listened to the words of the people of the world now, it was just for the sake of Datang."

"It's not so much that he is loyal, but that he likes to assist Mingjun and be loyal to the people of the world."

Li Chunfeng nodded and praised: "The Emperor Taishang has a good eye for people, my brother Yuan's nature is indeed like this, but in another way, loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is not also loyal to His Majesty?" ”

"You Li Chunfeng is clever and clever, I don't want to talk to you much, you just need to remember, don't let Yuan Tiangang obstruct him, of course, if he doesn't want to do what I want, I won't blame him."

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "Emperor Taishang really plays a good hand of chess, no matter how the two of them are, it is good for Datang, in the final analysis, you still haven't lost." ”

"Hehehe, haven't I lost yet?"

"Yes, you are also thinking about the world, and for the world, there has been no such thing as "losing" since ancient times! ”
