"I think you know this better than I do."

Li Zhi was stunned: "What do I understand?" ”

Li Yunxiao said lightly: "If the son is weak and the mother is strong, there will be chaos in the palace, and if the palace is chaotic, the world will be chaotic." ”

"Judging from the historical records, the reason why many countries and dynasties in the past were turbulent and divided was mostly because the emperor was young and the empress dowager was healthy."

"Emperor... Supreme authority and boundless pleasure, there is no one in the world who can not be moved and corrupted! Patience to resist these temptations is not something that anyone can do. ”

"For example, you, since you took back the power of the eldest grandson Wuji, the territory has expanded, but don't you think you are too indulgent?"

"Emperor, we're talking about them, what are you talking about me?"

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to look, and finally picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"I said what's wrong with you? Say that you are light, if you are younger, you will definitely not be able to escape this beating! ”

"Okay, Emperor, power does make people's hearts move, so I asked, who is more suitable for these children."

Li Yunxiao shook his head.

"If you leave, the queen mother will be widowed all the year round, have you ever thought that virtuous people will inevitably be arrogant and lascivious."

"And who can stop her?"

Li Zhi said with a straight face: "Are you saying that Mei Niang will have sole power and set aside her own children?" ”

Li Yunxiao shook his head: "I'm not a god, and I don't know everything. ”

"I only care about how long the prosperous era can last, and when it can truly unify the world."

Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, don't say that when you, Tai Shiling and Yuan Tiangang were still there, you paid a lot for the world." ”

"The emperor has exhausted what people can't do, and he has the Tang Dynasty in his heart."

"But I still want to say to you today, in this world, even if you are as strong as the first emperor, you can't conquer history and can't escape fate."

"Even if the emperor has a wish in his heart, he is afraid that he will be poor, if one day you are unable to manage, it is better to return to the mountains and forests and find a place to retreat."

Li Zhi's words came from the bottom of his heart, he didn't know what pain Li Yunxiao had experienced, but he understood the fate of the change of dynasty.

After Li Yunxiao heard Li Zhi's words, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Zhi.

In those deep eyes, there seemed to be a touch of purple and gold flashing.

"Do you think you really know me?"

Li Zhi was suddenly shocked by these eyes.

In decades, it was the first time that he bowed his head with momentum in the true sense.

"God, it's just a bastard who only recognizes strength and weakness, and doesn't recognize right and wrong, and the real right and wrong are all part of strength and weakness."

"Heaven is fair, but this fairness lies in the absolute law of the jungle! If I am strong and he is weak, then everything I do is right! ”

Speaking of this, a touch of melancholy flashed in Li Yunxiao's eyes.

"A lot of things... Maybe only God knows, your affairs are just petty fights, and the fate of history will come, but it will still run into me in the end! ”

"I always firmly believe that the sky will win over people, and people will win over the sky!"

Li Zhi naturally understood this.

The power of heaven can determine people, and if you act according to the laws of heaven, you will be unstoppable.

And the power of man can also overcome natural obstacles, transform the environment, and overcome the constraints of providence.

"What the emperor said is, then I'm too worried, okay, don't mention this matter, Lin De Hall has set up a banquet, why don't you go with me?"

Seeing that Li Yunxiao was silent, Li Zhi continued: "Give me a face, I haven't seen you for so long, I came up in person, you see that if I go down by myself, those big mouths..."

"Alright, let's go."

Li Yunxiao put Wang Ba into a small pocket and pinned it to his waist, and stood up with the Longquan Sword.

Li Zhi also smiled and walked out.

....

Lin De Palace, is the palace built during the Lin De period, therefore, the name Lin De.

This place is specially used for royal banquets.

A few days ago, Li Hong, Li Xian and others had already arranged everything to pick up the wind and wash the dust for their parents.

There were also members of the royal family in Chang'an City, as well as ministers, and some heads of the gate valve families, all of whom wanted to come to pay their respects.

There were also envoys from other countries, but only a very small number, and one of them was a native of Silla.

Since the fall of Baekje Goryeo, some of the people fled to their places to settle in search of protection.

However, when Silla saw the destruction of the two kingdoms, he did not dare to help them and turned them away.

Then he took the initiative to send beautiful women and heavy treasures to pay tribute, and the Tang Dynasty became a courtier, and learned the Central Plains language extensively, and today, the Chinese language of Silla has become the Central Plains language, and the original language has become a thing of the past.

I have to say that their approach is very clever, and the lord of the country is very clever, because of their kind of people's practices, although they have been assimilated, they are exempted from the risk of being annihilated.

Everyone gathered together, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang raised their glasses and smiled.

But when his eyes looked at Li Hong from time to time, the worry in his eyes still couldn't be hidden, and although Li Hong was smiling at the banquet, he didn't drink a drop of wine, which also made many people speculate whether he had something unspeakable.

Fortunately, Li Xian can speak, Li Xian can tell jokes, and talk to Li Dan and the two like cross talk, which makes many people laugh.

Princess Taiping is mixed in the middle, although she doesn't talk much, but she can also play a couple of sentences, and the atmosphere is not bad.

And Li Yunxiao sat cross-legged at the table, eating by himself, and the Longquan Sword was placed on the table, and no one dared to say anything.

came in with a blade in hand, and it is estimated that Li Yunxiao will be alone.

Just when everyone was celebrating, Li Hong drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up with a pale face, and then slowly came to the central position and knelt down in front of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.

At this moment, the entire hall fell silent.

Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang glanced at each other, both with puzzled expressions.

"Hong'er has something to say?"

Li Hong said in a low voice: "The son is ordered to supervise the country, and the officials of the three grades are private, abolish the surname of Wu Min, and implore the father and the queen mother to punish him!" ”

Li Zhi sighed, thinking what was the matter, it turned out to be this.

"Then Yang Jiancheng privately transferred the guards to insult my minister of the court with Helan Min, and it is not a pity to die, how can you punish him?"

Wu Meiniang also echoed: "Yes, Wu Minzhi is bold, the thief shouts to catch the thief, he secretly colludes with civil officials, he has no imperial authority, lawlessness, and damn it!" ”

"Alright, hurry up, like something."

When Li Hong heard the words of the queen mother, he did not stand up, but continued:

"The child is not in good health, he can't handle political affairs, and he has no achievements when the country is in danger, even if he handles things, he relies on the two prime ministers Li Yifu and Di Renjie, as well as his younger brother to take care of him."

"The son feels deeply guilty, and he has failed the trust of his father and queen mother, and he has also been negative..."

Speaking of this, Li Hong actually shed tears.

Li Yunxiao was setting up a dish, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and said lightly:

"The prince should be headed by virtue and meritorious service, you are deeply ambitious, have no regrets, and are worthy of others, which is enough."

Li Zhi nodded: "What the emperor said is very true, Hong'er, don't you get up soon?" ”

Li Hong refused: "Erchen still has something to ask for!" ”

"Then get up and say!"

Li Hong shook his head and said slowly: "Erchen was sick and depressed, and when I was traveling for a day, I met two women in the palace, they are different from the maids and servants in the palace, and they are not concubines. ”

"The two of them were haggard and lonely, and when they saw their sons, they kowtowed again and again, looking frightened, and after inquiring, they knew that the two were the sisters-in-law of the sons."

"Erchen thinks that the father and mother must be busy with the government and ignore the two, so Erchen has the courage to ask you to surrender the two princesses, don't let them stay in the cold palace anymore."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were stunned.

Li Zhi couldn't help but pat his head, for so many years, Concubine Xiao Shu had already been exiled with Queen Wang.

And the two daughters born to Concubine Xiao and him were ignored by him.

He hadn't seen them for so many years, and if Li Hong hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that there were still such two people.

Although Concubine Xiao Shu was convicted of being a criminal and exiled, her two biological daughters were left behind, and now that I think about it, I am really ashamed.
