Chapter Thirty-Eight: Gaozong is ashamed
"Then, Brother Han, do you want to see your father?" Princess Taiping asked again.
"What do you think? Taiping, this time, I'll listen to you!" Xiao Han suddenly ran out of ideas.
"I think Brother Han should see his father at least once, even if it is okay to chat casually, after all, you are father and son!" Princess Taiping's face turned serious.
This is the first time Xiao Han has seen her serious appearance, and I feel that she is even cuter!
"Okay, I'll go see him in a while, Yu'er, you go back with Taiping first, I wanted to slaughter Gaozong's head at the beginning, this time, I'm going to be disappointed, Gaozong's head is saved, haha!" Xiao Han actually laughed.
It turned out that he was thinking like this! Princess Taiping's heart suddenly tightened!
"Don't worry, Taiping, after all, he is also my father, forget it, my master's revenge can only be avenged, and the blood of Sanhe Town is also shed in vain;
"Huh?" When Princess Taiping and Yu'er heard this, they actually exclaimed at the same time.
Yu'er's face was overjoyed, as if she understood Xiao Han's thoughts in an instant: he had let go of all his burdens!
Princess Taiping was also overjoyed afterwards, clapping her hands and exclaiming: "Okay, Brother Han is Brother Han, you must be the most outstanding hero in the world, Taiping will always love Brother Han!" After speaking, he took the initiative to kiss Xiao Han's face, but his eyes glanced at Yu'er.
"Whatever, Sister Taiping, please feel free, I'm definitely not going to eat this vinegar, haha!" Yu'er laughed.
"Sister-in-law, okay, sister-in-law, let's send Brother Han to my father's first, and then, let's go play, okay?" Princess Taiping said.
"Okay, according to Taiping's words, haha, you are our baby, you have the final say!" Yu'er said indifferently.
Finally, when they arrived at Gaozong's imperial study, Princess Taiping and Yu'er went immediately, leaving only Xiaohan alone.
"You're here!" Gojong Li Zhi's voice had come out of the room.
"I'm here, haha, I'm just afraid, let the emperor wait for a long time!" Xiao Han finally pushed open the door and walked in.
What he saw was no longer the emperor who was high, but an old man in his last years: he was only sitting on a chair, his eyes were blank, his face was pale, and he was slumped in the chair with no strength!
"Do you want revenge? Right now, it's your best time, come on! Xiaohan, you can draw your sword at any time!" Gaozong Li Zhi said.
"Do you think you deserve me to draw your sword? Hmph, you overestimate yourself, right? I came, just because Taiping asked me to come, there is no other meaning, this palace, except for Taiping, other people are not worth mentioning at all!" Xiao Han told the truth again.
"Haha, after all, there is still something to admire in this palace, then, for the sake of peace, can you help us?"
"I don't know, I'll leave after the Lantern Festival, the grievances of the Tang Palace have nothing to do with me, it's just that none of you can hurt the peace, otherwise, I will sacrifice him to my black snow, haha!" Xiao Han finally smiled.
"I really can't stay? I hope you and Taiping will help Datang tide over the difficulties, my body is no longer good, you can't pity me?" Gaozong Li Zhi said.
"Hmph, Your Majesty, who did the residents of Sanhe Town provoke whom? What fault did they make? The more than 800 residents of the town are all people of the Tang Dynasty, why? Why did the emperor slaughter them? I might as well tell you honestly, I originally wanted to use the power of peace to kill the Tang Emperor and avenge the fathers and villagers of Sanhe Town, but I never expected that you were actually my father; alas, what a wrong, my revenge will never be avenged!" Xiao Han's eyes revealed a look of pain.
"Alas, blame me for this, at the beginning, the queen said that she had found out the news of the rest of the former prince Chengqian, and said that most of the residents of Sanhe Town were fierce and stubborn people, and they were likely to unite with the Turkic army to invade the Tang Dynasty in the south, so we ordered the slaughter of the entire town's residents;
His eyes were obviously a little dull, and he hesitated to speak, but he still tried his best to show his apologies; unfortunately, it didn't help, just as the snowflakes fell, covering all the dust; the ugliest place of human nature, at this moment: it made Xiao Han's heart chill even more!
"The snow in Chang'an is not cute at all, Your Majesty, do you know? Chang'an, I don't have any feelings at all, so I don't want to stay in this place for a day, alas, I feel cold when I think about it! It's still good that the snow outside the cold is good, it's white, we don't need to worry about it; the snow in Chang'an is too cold, this wind and snow is too big, perhaps, only Taiping is the only thing in Chang'an that makes people feel cute and warm, don't worry, if she has anything, I will definitely help her!" Xiao Han finally said and promised.
"Okay, Xiaohan, thank you, it's good that you have this heart, I don't want you to forgive me, I hope you can help me take care of Taiping, so that she will be happy for the rest of her life, she is a good girl, she should have this happiness, she is the pride of our Datang!" Speaking of Taiping, Gaozong's face was shiny again, and he was really a kind father at this time!
"This is no problem, Your Majesty, do you still have an explanation? If it's okay, I want to retire!" Xiao Han said and got up.
"How about having a meal with my father? Just our father and son, no one invites us, how about it? My father only has this request, today, accompany my father for a day, okay?" Gaozong's eyes began to look forward to it again.
Looking at his disappointed and expectant gaze, Xiao Han's heart softened, and finally, he nodded and said, "Yes, father, just this time, from tomorrow onwards, I will still be Xiao Han, and you will still be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, that's all!"
"Okay, thank you, Han'er, today, we are father and son, haha, I wish it was enough!" Gaozong suddenly felt a big heart, and his eyes were full of luster again.
"So, what about me? Han'er, today, are we also a mother-son relationship? Shouldn't you also call me 'Queen Mother'?" At this time, Wu Meiniang interjected outside the house.
As soon as she came, she heard the last two sentences of conversation between the two, and her eyebrows locked: this is not good news, her plan has just been prepared to be implemented, and now, she doesn't know what to do? How to clean it up? It seems that Wan'er has to think again!
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that I was going to talk to Xiao Han alone today? What are you doing here?"
"Hey, wouldn't it be better to talk to multiple people? I think, does Han'er want to talk to me too?" Wu Meiniang's eyes began to speak again!
Obviously, there was a lot of meaning in her smile: what will be their relationship like now?
"Haha, Queen Mother, I don't care, it's just that you have to answer a few questions before calling you 'Queen Mother'!" Xiao Han's eyes began to flicker.
"Okay, for Han'er, this palace knows everything, everything is endless, haha, Wan'er has already told you part of it, and she has reported to me when she comes back, so let's try to make the topic as easy as possible, okay, our good Han'er!" Wu Meiniang began to draw the relationship between the two closer.
"The first question is still that question, why did you massacre the residents of our Three Rivers Town?
"Wan'er has already answered you, right? She answered it very accurately and perfectly, I don't think there is any need to answer it again; I heard that your master died in that catastrophe, and I deeply regret this; today, I can solemnly apologize to you, Han'er, I'm sorry, we didn't understand the situation at the beginning, so we made a random will and caused you harm, I'm sorry, please forgive us!" After speaking, Wu Meiniang actually bowed to him and apologized.
Sure enough, she is worthy of a generation of heroines, she speaks and does things quite simply, and for a while, Xiao Han didn't know how to deal with herself.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it, since the queen mother said so, then, Xiaohan doesn't blame you; this matter is complicated, indeed, it is not appropriate to attribute all the responsibility to you;
"So, what do you want to ask about the second thing? Is it about Taiping?" said Wu Meiniang with a smile.
She almost read Xiao Han's heart, Xiao Han was stunned again when she heard this: "Do you know how to read minds? Yes, it's about Taiping, I hope that no matter what happens in the Tang Palace, don't involve Taiping in it;
His attitude was very resolute, as if he had seen something he didn't want to see: the snow in Chang'an was too cold!
"Okay, Han'er is really refreshing, thank you, I thank you, I believe that everyone here will not hurt Taiping, right? Thank you Han'er, you love Taiping so much, we have to thank you!" Wu Meiniang gave another salute.
"No thanks, queen mother, today, you can be my queen mother, like the emperor, but from tomorrow onwards, I will still be the guest lord of the Turks, this point, please father and queen mother, because Chang'an is not the place I want to stay!" Xiao Han said resolutely.
The two of them were stunned, especially Wu Meiniang, she didn't expect Xiao Han to be so straightforward, after thinking about it, she said, "Okay, Han'er, you are in charge of your affairs, but at least, the Taiping Society has always been your sister, right?"
"Of course, don't worry, I'll try to make her happy!" Xiao Han promised again.
"Okay, Han'er is Han'er, worthy of being a first-class hero in the world today, the emperor and I are proud to have a son like you, okay, let's only talk about family affairs today, not about political affairs, how about it?" Wu Meiniang said.
"Yes, Queen Mother, Han'er will obey the will of the Queen Mother!" Xiao Han said lightly.
"Then, shouldn't we call Taiping and Yu'er in? We are a family, lively and lively together, haha, Han'er, your daughter-in-law is really good, beautiful and dignified, the queen mother likes it very much!" Wu Meiniang proposed.
Wu Meiniang's eyes narrowed into a line, and everyone could see her pride and happiness!
The two looked at each other and smiled, and both nodded unconsciously.
"Okay, then the palace will arrange a banquet, haha, it won't prevent your father and son from chatting, haha, the mourning family is so happy today!" Wu Meiniang's face was like a flower, very beautiful.
Watching her leave, Gaozong couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, that's why I like Mei Niang, she is really a smart and wise woman, she can solve any problem!"
