Chapter 672: All Chang'an City
"Your mother was only nineteen years old when she passed away, and it was the sixth year she entered the mansion..."
Li Yuan's eyes flashed a little, as if he was trapped in memories.
"That year was also in Chang'an City. When I first met your mother, she was just a thirteen-year-old girl. Although she was not ugly, she couldn't say she was beautiful. Her father died of a patient and was poor at home. She sold herself to bury her father on the street, but was driven away by the people in the yamen. It happened that your mother took someone by her, and missed her pitifully, so she bought her and took her back to the mansion..."
Li Yuan said these words and his tone was calm, and his resentment and evil intentions towards Li Xian were also faded a lot: "In just a few years, she has fallen out like a lotus from the water. She is very kind-hearted, and everyone in the mansion loves her very much. If it weren't... If it weren't for me to insist on taking her into the house, I think the queen would treat her like her biological daughter."
"After all, the queen is still a little jealous. Because your mother is too beautiful, I thought that the matchmaker would marry her and let her be a fair wife, but I ignored that doing so touched the queen's bottom line... How could she tolerate a poor person to be my fair wife? I loved your mother very much at that time..."
When Li Xian heard this, he frowned slightly, then waved his hand and interrupted Li Yuan with a rough look: "You don't love her, but your beauty."
Li Yuan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Maybe you are right, but I did dote on her very much at that time."
"What do you want to tell me about this?"
Li Xian asked in Li Yuan's eyes.
"I just want to tell you something about your mother."
Li Yuan looked at Li Xian and said, "Your mother and the queen were about to give birth to the same day, and there was a son left. But before the full moon came out, things happened to Li Hun's family... At that time, the Emperor of Sui was very worried about me and always wanted to find a chance to get rid of me... Of course, I would not give him a chance. That's why I abandoned you two..."
Speaking of this, Li Yuan paused for a moment and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It turns out that I have twenty-four sons, but I forgot... I have always ignored the child born to the queen over the years."
"Don't deceive yourself."
Li Xian sneered and said, "You are ignoring me."
Li Yuan's face changed when he heard this, then nodded and said seriously: "You are right. I always thought you were my legitimate son, and the child buried by Lao Zhen is Xue Qi's child. This concept has been deeply rooted in recent years, and it is difficult to change for a while... In fact, I will sometimes be in a daze now, and I still treat you as my legitimate son without realizing it."
"If you didn't look as similar to Xueqi... I might really pass the throne to you."
"Maybe don't say anything."
Li Xian said in a cold voice: "You are meaningless to say these things now, and there is something I should tell you clearly. Don't say that you just have this plan, even if you really pass the throne to me, I will not accept it."
"Why?"
"I naturally won't want what you give. Although I want it... but since I want it, I still have to use the ability to grab it to satisfy me."
Li Xian looked at Li Yuan and said word by word: "Only by robbing it proves that you lost it. Only by watching you suffer from the pain of losing can I feel comfortable in my heart."
Li Yuan smiled bitterly, lowered his head and stopped talking.
The two of them fell into silence again. I don’t know how long it took, Li Yuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief: “Now you have grabbed it, will you really feel proud and proud? Do you really feel satisfied when you look at me in pain?”
"Don't try to play the warm card."
Li Xian stood up slowly and walked to the dragon chaise with his jaw slightly raised. His gaze carefully looked on the dragon chaise for a long time, and stood there with his hands behind his back for a long time without moving.
Looking at Li Xian's slender and upright back, Li Yuan suddenly realized that he had seen something wrong.
"When you stood there and looked at the chair, I suddenly realized something... You are more greedy than Shimin, and your greed is deeper than Shimin. I now know that your desire for power and status is far more than that of anyone, and no matter how calm you are, you cannot hide your desire."
"I never concealed it."
Li Xian looked back at Li Yuan, thought for a while and said in a solemn tone: "From the beginning, I have never denied that I am a greedy person, and even greed is so much that I would rather be insignificant than lack. Since I can walk, this greed has probably been deeply imprinted into my heart. Greedy, lust, and insatiable... It is precisely because of these greed that I have been able to survive."
"You will never understand my growing up."
Li Xian said with some emotion: "In this world where you don't have greed, if I want to survive, want to survive well, and want to survive better than most people... Then I will be more greedy than anyone else."
...
...
"Greed instead of being rational, keep a clear mind."
Li Xian did not climb up the stairs. Just when Li Yuan felt that he was about to walk up the stairs and sat on the chair, Li Xian suddenly stopped, turned slowly and walked back to Li Yuan. This time he did not sit down, but squatted in front of Li Yuan very impolitely, staring at Li Yuan's eyes and said with a smile: "You only now can you see that my greed is your biggest failure."
This kind of squatting and talking to others is a bit petty no matter what. But now Li Xian is the winner, and no matter how petty the winner is, he is also a winner.
At this time, Li Xian looked like he was squatting side by side with Zhang Zhongjian on the high slope outside the small village in Gu'an County south of Youzhou, holding a chicken leg in one hand and holding a pig's trotter in the other hand, and was very happy. It was as if he was practicing knife on the unknown mountain on the grassland, and squatting exhausted on the big bluestone in front of the wooden house to drink a sip of strong wine to keep warm. It was comfortable and comfortable.
At this time, his bandits and rogue appearance was all revealed.
"Because of greed, I have done the things that rob people of money, and I have also done the things that rob people of life, but speaking of it... no matter what you rob, it is better to rob a country to be the most satisfying."
The smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger and stronger, so strong that it could be seen that there was a deep sarcasm in it: "It is not something that only people from aristocratic families can do to get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost."
"You seem to look down on people from aristocratic families?"
Li Yuan asked.
"It's not that you look down on me, it's that you're jealous."
Li Xian replied seriously: "Jealousy can make people degenerate, and it can also make people work hard."
"But you can't deny it, you are also a child of a noble family."
Li Yuan finally found the opportunity to fight back, and he said proudly: "After all, there are countless aristocratic families in the world, but which one is bigger than my Li family now?"
"This body is indeed from a noble family, but the soul in the body is not."
Li Xian looked at Li Yuan's eyes and said playfully: "You will never truly understand the meaning of this sentence, and I will never tell you what it is. Even if you think about it, you will never think of why I said this sentence. Not to mention you, even if everyone in the world is thinking about it, you will not be able to think of the real answer."
"Where are you going to let me go?"
Li Yuan did not intend to get involved in this topic because he really didn't understand what Li said in the words.
"But after thinking about it, do you have any other place besides letting me live in the palace?"
“Not now.”
Li Xian smiled and said, "But there will be something soon. I promised many people that they would build a cemetery in Chang'an City, and there is still a lack of a door guard to update... I originally planned a long time ago that I wanted to cast two portraits in the cemetery, and cast them like kneeling and worshiping the cemetery, one is Yang Jian and the other is Yang Guang... But now it seems that it seems that it is better to let you guard the cemetery than to do this."
“Let’s get here.”
Li Xian stood up and walked slowly outside the hall: "I have said enough. I admire myself now. How could I say so much nonsense to you patiently, and I can even endure it from hitting you. Your lovely grandson will come in and talk to you later. You should teach him how to be a qualified emperor...at least he looks like a qualified emperor."
"Twenty years ago, a baby died and a baby lived. Living is happiness... Happiness is cats eating fish and meat, Ultraman fighting small monsters... Happiness is, I stand and laugh, the enemy kneels and cry."
I don’t know how many feelings someone feels in my heart, but I actually said so many nonsense. Twenty years of escape, twenty years of struggle, twenty years of life and death,
...

Li Huining was actually on the Xuanwu Gate, but she looked at all this coldly from beginning to end, not talking, not participating, not listening or asking.
When Li Xian led the army into the city, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. But soon, this pain was suppressed by her. Xia Fengchun, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army guarding Xuanwu Gate, looked towards the Tai Chi Palace and showed pain and determination before ordering to open the Xuanwu Gate, and then knelt three times and nine times in the direction of the Tai Chi Palace Hall, which made people open the Xuanwu Gate.
But before he looked at Tai Chi Palace, he looked at Li Huining first.
He was Li Huining's general and the first brave general in the Detachment of Women's Army. He really respected Princess Pingyang to the extreme. Li Yuan asked Li Huining to climb the city gate, but Li Huining did not refuse, but she chose to watch coldly. From beginning to end, she didn't know what position she should stand on. Should she be happy or in pain.
When Li Xian entered the Tai Chi Palace hall, she sat on the wall of Xuanwu Gate and looked over there. Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew that Li Xian had walked in and had not come out for a long time. When Li Xian walked out, she had drunk three pots of wine and felt uncomfortable in her stomach, but she couldn't vomit it out.
When Li Xian appeared in front of her, she laughed and then fell to the ground drunk. She didn't know what the laughter meant.
It was at this time that Chang'an City was completely captured by Yanyun's army. Except for the Beicheng, which Li Xian personally commanded and attacked, all the other three cities were attacked by Xu Shiji. Because the Tang army in the North Gate was defeated so quickly that Xu Shiji was not very fiercely blocked. In just one day, the flags flying on the gates of Chang'an City were replaced by Yanyun's army flags.
Standing next to the drunk Li Huining, Li Xian looked at the crowd in Tai Chi Palace that still gathered in front of the hall and did not dare to disperse. He looked at Li Huining in a messy and outdated manner. He shook his head and muttered to himself: "I know you don't need to do anything to repay you, and I also know that the relationship between you and me has been broken today. But... if I hadn't thought of you, I could hardly resist killing him just now."
He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Is this kind of thing considered a traitor?"
ps: I am in a bad state today, just these two updates. I went to the hospital for a checkup during the day. The stomach was so uncomfortable. I swelled when I didn’t eat. I felt like I was burning and I was refluxed when I burned. I took the medicine and made an appointment for a gastroscopy. I could only do it on the 18th. It was the result of staying up late and irregular diet. It has been getting worse and worse for several years. I hope everyone is healthy and happy.
