The Holy Father changed into his regular clothes and sat down on the chair.
Seeing that Li Shao looked like he had something to say, His Majesty left him alone and said to Mr. Cao: "I'm a little hungry. Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"
Eunuch Cao said: "There is clear porridge, some pickles, and yes, there are shredded chicken."
"That's all," said the Holy Sage, "You can ask someone to fetch it, and I'll just lay it on you."
After saying that, the Holy Emperor looked at Li Shao again and asked, "Where is Shao'er? Do you want to have some porridge with me?"
Li Shao was anxious to complain to the Holy Father, but he could not ignore the problem directly, so he said: "My son, I will accompany you to eat porridge."
The Holy Master nodded slightly.
Eunuch Cao went out to give orders to the young eunuch.
Seeing this, Li Shao could only sit patiently.
No matter how anxious you are, you have to choose the right time.
The porridge will be delivered soon. If you don't have time to say a few words, you will be interrupted and you will have to wait.
The Holy Emperor moved to the side table, and Li Shao followed him. The waiter had already set the table.
After Li Shao waited for the saint to move his chopsticks, he also picked up the bowl. Even though he was not hungry, he was still anxious to finish the porridge.
When he put down the bowl and chopsticks, he was about to speak, but was glanced at by the Holy Master.
The meaning in the eyes is clear: Eat without speaking.
This is not the time for father and son to drink and eat meat and chat about family matters. The father does not want to talk now.
In this way, Li Shao could only swallow the words on his lips again.
After the Lord finished eating, the two returned to the study. The Lord sat down and looked at Li Shao for a while.
"Shao'er, have you calmed down?" he asked.
Li Shao was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "My son, I am not uncool."
"Really?" The Holy Spirit asked again, "I saw that you were holding back a lot of anger when you were in the Jinluan Palace. I would like to ask you, have you calmed down after eating a bowl of hot porridge?"
Li Shao's throat rolled.
It is said that if you make great efforts at one go, you will lose your strength again and again, and you will be exhausted after three times. This is also the case with Li Shao.
From the initial rush to complain to the father to being interrupted again and again, the anger has actually been reduced a lot, but it has definitely not been extinguished completely. It has turned from a big fire to a small fire, and it is still simmering.
Burning the internal organs.
"As you said, I was not calm enough during the morning court. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have lost my composure." His mood changed, and Li Shao did not use such intense words when he spoke, but instead spoke in a roundabout way, "Today I
What the two censors and Mr. Gu said really made me feel uncomfortable."
The Holy Father was sitting on a pillow, and it was impossible to tell his mood at this time just by looking at his expression.
"Why are you feeling uncomfortable?" The Holy Master asked, "What they said about Yumen Pass is also true. You did sneak out of the pass disguised as a soldier, and it was indeed Xu Jian who rescued you during the battle between the two armies. It was me.
I asked Xu Jian to hide the truth and not give a specific explanation in the past few years."
"Isn't it enough for him to marry Ning An?" Li Shao couldn't help but ask, "If there weren't those things, why would he marry Ning An? The Queen Mother would let Ning An marry someone who stays at Yumen Pass all year round and never returns to the capital?"
"These are two different things. A prince and a princess are a perfect match," the Holy Emperor said, tapping his knuckles on the table twice. "In the final analysis, you are wrong, and so am I. Censors
It is appropriate to scold anyone."
Li Shao pursed his lips.
His mind was filled with the censor's aggressiveness, which made his exhausted anger suddenly burn again, rising three feet high.
"Father, what I want to say is not what is right or wrong at Yumen Pass, but why did the news spread in Qianbu Corridor?" Li Shao said, "I know the ins and outs so clearly, it can only be that Xu Jian deliberately did it.
Of!"
The Holy Master's eyes were heavy: "Shao'er, what do you want to say?"
"Father, I know that you like Xu Jian very much, and even tolerated him especially because of the Yumenguan incident. You also said that you wanted him to be my right-hand man, but," Li Shao took a deep breath.
, "Er Chen thought that Xu Jian had other ideas and that he was not that loyal to Er Chen."
The Holy Master said coldly: "Xu Jian is not loyal to you? Then who is he loyal to?"
Li Shao wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Holy One: "Saving your life to save you on the battlefield is not considered loyalty. Isn't it considered loyalty to save you regardless of old injuries in the paddock? Shao'er, you should be glad that you didn't say this in the Jinluan Palace.
Otherwise, how many people would be chilled?!"
Li Shao's face turned white, but he knew that there was no turning back. If he took this step back, it would be difficult for him to talk to his father about Xu Jian's cunning intentions in the future.
He has to fight for himself!
"That's not what I mean," Li Shao said hurriedly. "What I want to say is that Xu Jian doesn't want his son to be a prince. He must be loyal to you and your father. However, it's just that Xu Jian
Jane did many things very strangely, and Erchen thought that he was very ambitious, he wanted to manipulate Erchen, and he wanted to be the regent."
Seeing that his father's eyebrows were furrowed but he did not stop him from explaining, Li Shao reorganized his thoughts.
"He has been looking for trouble for Erchen," Li Shao said, "As for the batch of Guyue tribute wine, Erchen did not think carefully at the beginning and exchanged the wine privately, but Xu Jian asked Ning'an to go to Cining Palace.
Ask the Queen Mother for a drink.
Asking for a drink is fake, asking for trouble is real!
There are also tiger bones. There are so many tiger bones in the Imperial Pharmacy that Ning An doesn’t even like them, so he insists on asking his son for them.
On the day of the siege, Ning An deliberately got off his carriage at the city gate...
It's not that Xu Jian had any second thoughts, he just wanted to tease his son, make him look embarrassed, and then "show favor" to him.
The son knows that he has done many things wrong. Father, you should teach him how to teach him. Not only you, the three orphans are his teachers, and the son must listen to their advice.
But this is not what Xu Jian should do, Xu Jian not only did it himself, he also instigated Ning An and took advantage of the Queen Mother."
When Li Shao opened his mouth, it was like pouring beans.
The Holy Emperor did not interrupt him, and it was not until Li Shao stopped that he asked: "Are you done?"
Li Shao said: "Father, Xu Jian is really not what you think..."
"Do you know what you are talking about?" The Holy Sage's voice suddenly became serious, with a little anger, "So this is how you judge Xu Jian, no wonder! Xu Jian said you are thoughtful, but I think you are petty.
!”
Li Shao's pale face instantly turned red, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed.
Even though he had thought that his father Xu would not believe him, it was hard for Li Shao to accept being told such harsh words by his father.
"Father," Li Shao stood up, "Xu Jian and Shan Shen have a good relationship, and he was clearly behind the Geng Baoyuan incident.
The book left in the outer room had not been taken out earlier or later, but it happened to appear at this time.
Xu Jian just wants to prevent his son from coming to Taiwan, and there are also those rumors, everyone is complaining about Xu Jian..."
"Shut up!" The Holy One said word by word.
Just two words, but like two knives, Li Shao looked dazed.
From childhood to adulthood, he had not been scolded by his father for so many years. When Yumenguan came back, he was scolded bloody, but at that time, the scoldings all revolved around him.
This time, it's for an outsider.
His father believed Xu Jian more than he believed in him, so his father scolded him for Xu Jian.
Li Shao was so wrapped up in these emotions that he could only see the Holy Sage's lips moving, but could not hear clearly what he was scolding.
The Holy One scolded me very harshly.
The voice was not loud, maybe even in the nave, but it was very deep, the voice was deep, the tone was deep, and the words were even deeper.
Disappointment, sadness, and anger enveloped him, and he even walked up to Li Shao and really cursed him.
"Did you listen to it?!" At the end of the reprimand, the Holy Master took a deep breath and stared at Li Shao for a moment, "Did you listen to everything I said?"
Li Shao came back to his senses with a jolt and shrank his neck.
The Holy One raised his hand and pressed heavily on Li Shao's shoulder: "Everyone has emotions, you have them, I have them too, but the king of a country cannot judge people by their emotions.
I am really disappointed that you have speculated on Xu Jian like this. You should go back and calm down, think about what I said, and after you understand it, go and apologize to Xu Jian."
Li Shao was stunned.
apologize?
Why?
Xu Jian tricked him, hid well and deeply, so Xu Jian is capable!
But he was the one who was deceived, and he still wanted to apologize, so how could he speak so smoothly?
"Father..." Li Shao opened his mouth.
The Holy Spirit added more strength to his hands: "Do you still have any objections?"
Li Shao felt pain for a moment and frowned, but did not dare to say anything.
It's useless to say it.
"I know," Li Shao said, "I'm going to leave."
The Holy Spirit did not leave him alone and signaled him to go out.
Eunuch Cao had been standing by, listening with a variety of emotions. He lowered his head and sent Li Shao out, then returned to the imperial court.
Seeing the Holy One leaning against the back of his chair, closing his eyes and concentrating, but unable to hide the look of exhaustion on his brows, Eunuch Cao's heart also tugged.
He has served His Majesty for so many years and understands His Majesty’s love and care best.
Although it is said that it was His Majesty's decision to "sharpen His Highness's temperament", and in order to achieve results, His Majesty also made many arrangements, but today, His Highness walks into this net, and when he really says those words, His Majesty will still
The pain that cuts through the heart and lungs.
This disappointment weighs heavily on His Majesty's heart, this feeling...
Eunuch Cao gently poured tea for His Majesty, then cleaned his hands again, stood behind the big chair, and pressed His forehead on His Majesty's forehead.
After pressing it for a while, the Holy Spirit whispered: "It's too late for me to deal with Shao'er's temper. I should have dealt with it two years ago."
Eunuch Cao said: "It's late, but it's not too late..."
"You don't need to comfort me," the Holy Sage sighed, "I really didn't expect that he would speculate on Xu Jian like that. It has been difficult for Xu Jian in the past two years."
Not only in the past two years, but also in recent times, Xu Jian has also been in trouble.
Because he wanted to temper Shao'er's temper, and because he needed a legitimate reason to depose the prince, Xu Jian also racked his brains.
The things that happened to Geng Baoyuan in January had nothing to do with Xu Jian.
The waist card was real. Geng Baoyuan had disappeared a long time ago. Xu Jian couldn't get the real waist card, so he probably dug things out of Shuntian Mansion and took advantage of the situation to "add fuel to the fire."
After all, only the Xu family knows what is going on in Liu Xun's outer chamber now. The only possibility is that the Xu family, or Mrs. Xu, hid the letter and took it out when something happened.
As for the rumors outside...
To be fair, His Majesty did not want to make a fuss about what he had concealed back then.
When Lin Yu came to the Imperial Study Room to discuss with him a few days ago, he had the same idea, but in the end it was Lin Yu who convinced him.
Only a few people in Beijing know about the ancient events of Yumen Pass.
If it wasn't for Xu Jian's inconvenience to enter the palace and he needed to ask for instructions from the emperor on his behalf, he would not have been told this matter.
But the soldiers who had gone through Yumen Pass at that time were more or less aware of it. They were guarding the border, the soldiers would return to Beijing, and the soldiers would return to their hometowns. Maybe one day they would no longer be able to keep their mouths shut.
Furthermore, the purpose this time is to depose the prince. Once the prince is deposed, there will be many people who don't want him to revive.
In a few years, when the fight for the crown prince's position becomes fierce, someone might be thinking of going to Yumen Pass to find out the matter.
Rather than being suddenly exposed one day and giving His Highness a heavy blow, it is better to take this opportunity to spread the word, scold and punish, and try to settle the old score in the future. This old score has also become bad, it's nothing.
That makes sense.
By eliminating unnecessary troubles in the future and facilitating this plan, the incident at Yumen Pass can almost "justify" the crown prince's dethronement.
Moreover, a wound will rot if you cover it and it will be difficult to heal. Only by opening it and scraping away the fester can new flesh grow.
Only when the hidden dangers are removed can the meat grow well.
The Holy Emperor was silent for a long time, but he still listened and asked Lin Yu to tell Xu Jian to just figure it out.
This is how the rumors gradually spread outside.
The Holy One doesn't know how Xu Jian arranged it. He can ask Xu Jian a few questions when he enters the palace next year, but the Holy One has already seen the results.
The news spread in Qianbu Corridor that the imperial censor had launched an attack in the morning, and Gu Heng also joined in.
No matter what his thoughts were, he finally achieved the situation he wanted. The only thing that made the Holy Emperor panic was Li Shao's attitude.
Li Shao pointed directly at Xu Jian.
It is true that Xu Jian did something behind his back, but Shao'er questioned him because he thought Xu Jian wanted to take advantage of him...
Even tribute wine and tiger bones were brought out, which shows the depth of emotion.
The knot between Shao Er and Xu Jian must be resolved. If they can use this time to heal their wounds and get completely better, that is what the Holy Spirit hopes to see most.
"Xu Jian is capable," the saint sighed, "but it's a pity that Shao'er can't listen."
Eunuch Cao kept holding his hands and sighed in his heart.
On the other side, after Li Shao walked out of the imperial study room, the howling cold wind did not calm him down, but made him more and more irritable.
The dog dog followed him step by step, his face hanging down looked ugly.
He also understood the prince well.
Having been scolded by the censors in the morning, and being scolded by the Holy Master in the royal study room, one can imagine how His Highness is feeling at this moment.
This anger was held back and not released until it was suffocated until it exploded louder.
But let His Royal Highness find a place to vent his anger...
In this current situation, where else can we remain silent?
It's not good for horse racing in the paddock, it's not good for eating and drinking, it's not good for finding a woman...
Everything is under control. If someone discovers it, it’s over!
Li Shao walked all the way to the palace gate, turned around and said, "Prepare the carriage."
Wang Gouzi was startled: "Your Highness, where are you going?"
"Go to the Duke Fu's Mansion." Li Shao gritted his teeth and said.
Wang Gouzi let out a breath of cold air in his throat and just said, "It's not good!"
Li Shao ignored him and said: "Father asked me to go and apologize to Xu Jian, so I will go."
