At the same time, in the imperial city, in the imperial study, the emperor Li Hao is lifting the pen and wielding ink, and the word "Jing" on the paper is strong and powerful. Next to the word "Jing" is a freshly written word "Zheng". He looked at this political scene thoughtfully, and finally added three strokes to the word "scene" into a "shadow". Only then did he slowly put down the pen in his hand.

Gonggong Xu, who was next to the bookcase, suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the old man who had been kneeling in front of the bookcase for a long time, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes......

This old man is old, silver-white hair, dressed in black plain clothes, he has been kneeling, his hands on the ground, his body is trembling slightly, or scared, or excited, or acting?

Anyway, when he came into the imperial study, Emperor Li Hao was writing, and he didn't dare to disturb, so he knelt like this.

After looking at the words "politics" and "shadow" for a while, Emperor Li Hao bypassed the bookcase and came to the old man, helped him up, and said: "Mr. Dilian Gong has suffered, and he is resentful of me in his heart, right?"

That's right, who else can he see in the study two days later?

When I raised my head, I saw that this Liangong was born with crane hair and childish face, and the fairy wind and bones. There are people in those deep eyes who can't see through, and they can't see the profoundness.

Hearing the emperor say this, the head that had just been raised kowtowed again, and said in his mouth: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister doesn't dare, the old minister knows that the emperor asked the minister to find the answer before he made this decision, how can he blame him, please be gracious." ”

Emperor Li Hao helped him up and said, "Old man, you don't have to salute, it's human nature to blame!"

Dilian Palace has not seen the emperor for eighteen years, saying that he is not resentful in his heart, I am afraid that he will not even believe in ghosts, but Emperor Li Hao seems to believe it, looking at the tears dripping from the corners of his eyes, Emperor Li Hao was slightly stunned in his heart, and said in his heart: "It seems that I am still wronged, since I am wronged, I have to solve the doubts in my heart, or where I will go back, right?"

So he said casually: "The old gentleman has been wronged, today there are only teachers and students, no monarchs and ministers, you and I have a good talk, come, sit down here." ”

After speaking, Emperor Li Hao turned around and walked towards the wooden chair on the right side of the imperial study.

But Dilian Palace waited in place, not daring to sit down. Who dares to sit? This is the lord of the world, if you accidentally sit on your ass, you will be killed, not to mention, and you will be given a Zhulian Nine Clans, I am afraid to think about it.

Seeing this, Emperor Li Hao was very satisfied, he pointed to the opposite seat and said, "Old gentleman don't have to be restrained, if you don't sit down, I will punish you!"

When Dilian Palace heard this, he seemed a little excited, the emperor's mouth of an old gentleman made people's hearts very happy, this supreme courtesy, I am afraid that there is only himself in the entire palace, right? His steps trembled a little, and he walked over slowly, and then sat opposite Emperor Li Hao.

Father-in-law Xu saw all this in his eyes, and for some reason in his eyes, we clearly saw a trace of contempt......

Emperor Li Hao took the lead and said: "Today, please invite the old man of Dilian Palace to come, and I hope to give me advice!"

Dilian Palace knew what the emperor was asking about. However, the Ninety-Five Respect will never mention it first, which will inevitably lose the royal face.

hurriedly opened his mouth and replied: "The emperor is serious, and he will kill the old minister, and the old minister must know everything and say everything." ”

The emperor was silent. Dilian Palace continued: "Eighteen years ago, the second prince came, swallowed by night, and the day ended, this is the way of heaven, the so-called way of heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death, for the king and the ministers are irreversible.

The old minister said, "The three dragons are soaring together, and the world is contending", which is the will of heaven. The so-called way of heaven is constant, there will be alternation of night and night, cloudy and sunny. And the innate vision of the three dragons is the will of God, and the will of God cannot be violated. However, the old minister's frightened words made the emperor worried, the old minister was a serious crime, and the old minister knew the emperor's worries, and he was willing to accept the punishment of the heavenly minister. ”

Emperor Li Hao looked at Dilian Palace quietly without the slightest expression. Seeing this, Dilian Palace continued: "Although my Tang Empire is rich and strong, the foundation of the new emperor is still shallow, and the countries are eyeing each other. ”

Dilian Palace hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Seeing this, the emperor sighed and said, "It turns out that Mr. knows my intentions. What do you know?"

Dilian Palace knelt on the ground, raised his head and said: "Mo Yan, the general of the Shence Mansion, has learned from ancient and modern times, can fight well, and can govern the country in Anbang in everything. When the second prince came out, the foreign enemy invaded, and the general pacified the war, in exchange for the 12-year peace of our Tang Empire, and greatly developed water conservancy, extensively repaired farmland, and recruited talents for the imperial court. In the twelfth year of the first era, the strange scene reappeared, and the foreign invaded again, this is a decree from heaven, fortunately, my Datang has been a people, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the commander is well-organized, so as to protect my Datang again. I don't know if the general is safe now?"

Dilian Palace was very excited when he said this, and when Emperor Li Hao saw this, he ordered Gonggong Xu to help him up, and said: "The general resigned and returned to his hometown five years ago, why doesn't the old gentleman know?"

"The minister has lived in the cabinet for a long time, and he has not asked about the world for many years, hoping that the emperor will atone for his sins. What a pity!

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Boldly connecting the palace, talking nonsense, my Tang Dynasty has lost a good talent, how can I be happy?"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Dilian Palace was not in a hurry, and said softly: "The emperor's worries lie in the high merits, but the joy lies in the general's knowledge of current affairs." After speaking, Dilian Gong knelt down again, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

And Emperor Li Hao was struck by the three words "knowing current affairs" of Dilian Palace, and was silent for a while. But Gonggong Xu, who was waiting by the side, was suddenly startled, as if he had thought of something? His thoughts were also pulled back to the third day of the third month of March twelve years ago.

On this day, on the birthday of the second prince Li Zheng, His Majesty the Emperor in order to make his beloved son happy, the special general Mo Yan sent the little prince Mo Ying to the imperial garden to play with the second prince. Unexpectedly, as soon as the little prince and the second prince met, the sky that was originally clear suddenly became cloudy and rainy.

Emperor Li Hao went to the imperial study because he discussed with the general Mo Yan about tax reduction, and the two children played by themselves.

Half an hour later, after the important matters were discussed, the two monarchs and ministers returned to the imperial garden together, and when they reached the cloister, the emperor happened to see the ink shadow in the pavilion with the second prince as a horse and riding on his body. The two children burst into laughter before they knew it.

Mo Yan saw that he was not good, and immediately scolded: "Shadow, presumptuous!" Then he knelt down in the corridor and said: "The emperor is gracious, the child is still young, just playing, please ask the emperor to redeem the ministers and have no way to discipline them!"

Emperor Li Hao squinted his eyes at Mo Yan and smiled: "It's okay, this son will become a great weapon in the future! It is also the day of the third day of March, right?" Who expected that as soon as he finished speaking, the thunder roared, the dark clouds rolled, and the three dragons reappeared on the imperial city.

"Please be gracious to the emperor, the minister did not intend to conceal the child's birthday, but even the palace said, the minister is worried that the emperor will think too much, please the emperor will be clear!"

The emperor helped Mo Yan up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What is it to talk about that fight, my Tang Empire has been thanks to generals over the years, how can I believe these heavenly statements." By the way, I have only two princes, what day is the third day of March?"

Mo Yan replied: "February 2, the dragon raises its head, March 3, give birth to Xuanyuan!" As soon as the words came out, General Mo Yan's face turned pale instantly, and it was the first time for the old slave to see the general so flustered.

Thinking of this, Gonggong Xu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, it turned out that it was not that the emperor didn't care, but that you didn't necessarily know that this emperor's heart was as deep as a needle under the sea. However, when he saw Dilian Palace again today, a question suddenly arose in his heart: Is it really providential?

Presumably, the later resignation and return to his hometown are also related to the third day of March, the two princes, and the three dragons Qi Teng, right? Gonggong Xu instantly understood the deep meaning of Dilian Palace's words. He glanced at Dilian Palace, who was still kneeling on the ground, but he couldn't have any good feelings in his heart.

Think of the Shence Mansion General Moyan, the past generations of loyalty, the ancestors had eight worship friends with the emperor, guarding the imperial city for generations, guarding the world of the Li family, never exceeding the authority in their hands, and the old slaves are all good manners, which is like your palace, self-sustaining and full of economy, able to speak well, clever tongue like a spring, take a nostril to see people do not know the world, isn't it the emperor who took the throne back then with your merit?

Gonggong Xu quietly thought about the past, Emperor Li Hao was silent, obviously it was very bad to be guessed by someone, and it took a long time to raise his head and say angrily: "Why did Mr. say that? What are you trying to do?"

Gonggong Xu was taken aback, but Dilian Palace was very happy in his heart, so he raised his head and said: "Tu Neng can accompany you around, and worry about you." The ancestors of the past dynasties assisted me in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no second heart. In the past five years, it has snowed heavily year after year, and the bell of the white horse has been ringing, which is by no means a coincidence, and the ministers watch the sky at night, the canopy stars are gradually dimming, and the stars of the heavenly pillars are gradually brightening. ”

"Dilian Palace, do you think that when you calculated accurately and assisted me in ascending to the Great Treasure, I would be able to allow you to talk nonsense?"

"The criminal ministers don't dare, the three dragons are soaring together, the world is contending, the will of heaven is not violated, and the people's hearts are not betrayed. If the prince is not established, what is the system of the country?"

"What is the will of heaven to boldly connect the palace?" and whose people's heart?" Emperor Li Hao asked angrily.

"The will of God is the will of heaven, and the great prince Li Ji is the heart of the people. ”

Emperor Li Hao suddenly laughed, and then said: "You old thing, just listen to this sentence, you can get up." In these years, you have not been able to leave Tianxiang Pavilion, but you have a good love for the eldest prince, careful teaching, and loyalty, I don't care about you anymore, you go back to your Tianxiang Pavilion. ”

Dilian Palace thanked him and withdrew. Out of the imperial study, he had a smile on his face......

The eldest prince Li Ji watched this scene from afar, disappeared in a corner of the imperial city, and went to Tianxiang Pavilion......

"Let's talk about it?" Emperor Li Hao said as he looked at Gonggong Xu's loyalty.

"Unfathomable, long-term!"

"Well, he is very stubborn, he likes the great prince, and he is in line with the intentions of General Mo Yan and the national teacher. By the way, the national teacher Li Huaiming sent an envoy to the Moonfish Country, it's time to come back, right? Heaven is constant, the will of heaven is not violated, and I am helpless. ”

"Your Majesty, think about the second prince again! The old slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

The emperor looked at Gonggong Xu and nodded, "Zheng'er, he doesn't have this life, don't force it." Who doesn't beware of this Manchu dynasty's civil and military affairs? Only you, an old slave, can trust you!"

Gonggong Xu only felt a warm current flowing all over his body, he had been with you for many years, and knew that Emperor Li Hao's words were sincere, so he immediately said: "The emperor ordered the old slave to send someone to greet General Moyan to establish the prince's intentions, and the person who came back talked about General Moyan's hometown, and there was no such person." ”

Gonggong Xu is well versed in the way of companionship, and he will accept it when it is appropriate, and will never say more.

Emperor Li Hao frowned, and said for a long time: "Whether it is the way of heaven or the will of heaven, it seems that I have been trapped in my heart for eighteen years, and I will never be a sage, and I have missed a few years, and the government and public opinion of the great prince cannot be betrayed, and it is too perfect!"

After Emperor Li Hao finished speaking, he walked away, Gonggong Xu looked at his departing back, his steps were light, it seemed that the emperor had finally untied the knot in his heart for so many years. But can everything go back?

First, General Mo Yan resigned and returned to his hometown, and then the second prince was poisoned by hunting, and the treatment was ineffective. Gonggong Xu saw all this in his eyes, the emperor who first ascended to Dabao was diligent and loved the people, and he would bow down to everything, although he was a domineering dictatorship, but he was thinking about the common people in the world. Nowadays, the emperor in the country is rich and the people are strong, and what he thinks about is inheritance, and the emperor will be passed on from generation to generation. worried, for several years, he did not solve the questions in his heart, neglected the government and politics, and all the big and small affairs in the court were presided over by the eldest prince Li Ji. He has never stepped out of that sentence, the three dragons are soaring, and the world is contending!

It can only be discussed in the future, when Gonggong Xu quickly caught up, the imperial city had been painted with a thin layer of red by the setting sun......
