After the commotion for a while, Li Shimin also calmed down.
In fact, Li Shimin in history was not a murderous emperor. Apart from killing his own brothers, he really didn't kill many people. During the Zhenguan Dynasty, it was rare to hear of any unjust cases. With later generations,
Compared with other emperors, he is very kind. From this point of view, it is reasonable for him to be called a wise emperor. If he wants to kill, he will kill his own family, he will not attack his ministers, and he will not harm the people. Such an emperor
, of course he can be considered a wise king.
If Li Mu hadn't done something so irritating today, he wouldn't have lost such a temper. At this time, he calmed down, and seeing the fearful look on Little Eunuch Chen's face, he sighed and said, "Stop knocking."
, get up and answer."
"No." Young Eunuch Chen quickly responded, his forehead already bruised. Eunuch Gao gave him a look. Young Eunuch Chen agreed, and his eyebrows lowered even further.
"Do you know what made Li Mu crazy today?"
"I don't know." Young Eunuch Chen replied without thinking. Eunuch Gao nodded with satisfaction. He was worthy of being his godson who had been trained by him for many years. He was just more spiritual than ordinary eunuchs, and he could tell the truth. Such a question was answered.
That's wrong. If you don't want to offend Li Shimin, you have to offend Li Mu. Is Li Mu so easy to offend?
Eunuch Gao has been with Li Shimin for many years. When Li Shimin farted in the afternoon, he could tell what Li Shimin had eaten for lunch by smelling it. Although Li Shimin's angry attitude just now was quite scary, Eunuch Gao actually knew very well that Li Shimin would not do anything to Li Mu.
, he wasn't even angry, this behavior was just for outsiders to see.
There is only one step left for this matter. No matter who it is, if it is given this step, the matter will be over. Otherwise, if Li Shimin is really angry, don’t the accompanying guards have a knife? Just chop them down and send them to Dali Temple.
what?
Eunuch Gao was thinking wildly. Young Eunuch Chen continued to explain, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhulu asked my slave to go shopping, so I took people to the West Market to buy. I really don't know what happened during this period. Then Zhuluhou and the Emperor started drinking.
, I sent someone to deliver the message, and then Your Majesty arrived. I really don’t know why!”
Eunuch Gao whispered something into Li Shimin's ear at the right time. In fact, it was to remind Li Shimin that Li Mu might be in a bad mood and go crazy because of Li Ji's relationship. Wouldn't Li Shimin know this kind of thing that even a fool knows? He just
He just wanted to pretend to be stupid, but the current situation did not give him a chance to pretend to be stupid. He waved his hand and little Eunuch Chen retreated as if he was running away.
At this time, Li Yourong came in with a tray. On the tray was a pot of tea. Li Yourong put the tea on the table and poured it for Li Shimin. Li Shimin glanced at her, picked up the teacup and started to drink.
"His Majesty!"
Eunuch Gao hurriedly stopped him, and Li Shimin looked over. Eunuch Gao put on his signature smile, took the tea cup from Li Shimin's hand, and then, like a magic trick, he turned his hand and a silver needle appeared in his palm.
"Princess, it's not because I don't trust the princess. It's just that there are rules, and rules are rules. I'm sorry."
Li Yourong smiled, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Yourong is my niece, how can you harm me? Senior officials, is this unnecessary?"
Eunuch Gao still persisted and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave must fulfill his duties to serve Your Majesty. Please forgive me." After saying that, Eunuch Gao first looked at the tea cup, then poured out a little tea and tried it with a silver needle.
There was no change in the color of the needle, but I was still worried. I continued to look at the teapot, poured out some more tea and tried it to make sure there was no problem. Then I took back the silver needle and poured tea for Li Shimin to drink again.
Li Shimin glared at Eunuch Gao displeasedly, as if blaming him. Eunuch Gao just smiled and said nothing.
Li Shimin took a sip of tea and put down the cup. He said to Li Yourong, "Yourong, I don't believe you. Senior officials are also responsible for their duties. Don't have any grudges in your heart."
Li Yourong looked at Li Shimin and suddenly bowed down and gave a big salute. Li Shimin quickly helped her up and said, "What are you doing? There is no need for you, my uncle and my nephew to be so open to each other!"
Li Yourong said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. Although my daughter is your majesty's niece, we should talk about the king and ministers first, and then relatives. The etiquette cannot be abolished, and my daughter should have entered the palace yesterday to express gratitude, just because... Grandpa Huang
I was blocked and couldn't make it, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Li Shimin sighed and said, "Father, you still have complaints against me in your heart..." After a pause, Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to move a brocade pier for Li Yourong, watched her sit down, and said, "Yourong
, I have never dared to mention what happened back then. I was afraid that it would affect the family relationship between you and me. I don’t know if you can understand. I was really helpless about what happened back then. I don’t know if my father has ever talked about it with you.
On that day, there was only a thin line between life and death. If there was a slight mistake, I would be a withered bone in the grave today."
Li Shimin had tears in his eyes, and his voice was slightly choked, and he said: "I killed your father, and I accept the debt! But I don't regret it, because he was the one who ignored brotherhood first, and I believe that I will
He is a good emperor, and he is more suitable to be a good emperor than him! Now I have done it, I have destroyed the Turks and avenged my great revenge. If he is still alive, I believe he will also admire me."
As he said that, Li Shimin smiled again and said, "You may not believe me, but I have often dreamed of your father these days... Oh, forget it, let's not mention it." Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed and he stared at me.
Li Yourong's eyes said: "I will make you the princess and give you everything you deserve. I want you to know that the affairs of the previous generation have nothing to do with you. I regard you as my nephew and will take good care of you with all my heart."
Even after my father's death, I will not harm you. I will find you a husband you want, and you will enjoy the same favor and honor as my eldest princess."
Li Shimin took a deep look at Li Yourong, as if he had seen through her, and squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze as sharp as a blade: "These are my thoughts. If you think so too, everything is fine. But if you have
Any other thoughts are up to you, I am right here."
Li Shimin did not say the rest of the words clearly. But Li Yourong understood the meaning. I am here, neither hiding nor hiding. If you want to take revenge, it depends on whether you have the ability.
How confident is this.
Li Yourong looked at Li Shimin, and the aura that hit her face made her feel nervous. Extraordinary nervousness. She had never been nervous in more than 20 years of life. She didn't even dare to speak because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to control her expression.
, let Li Shimin see any flaws.
After a while, she managed to calm down and said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any hatred in my heart. If there is, it is for my father and for Jie Li. I must have reported my daughter's experience to Marquis Zhulu.
Back then, if it weren’t for my father, my mother and I would not have suffered so much. My mother would not have been humiliated and remarried, and she would not have died under the sword of the cavalry sent by Jie Li. My daughter only hates and cannot avenge her mother.
There is nothing else to think about."
Li Shimin withdrew his gaze and said: "I can't help you avenge your enmity against Jieli. Although the Turks have been destroyed, there are still many tribes in the old Turkic lands. They are dominated by Jieli. If I kill them, the border cities
, there will never be peace. I cannot sacrifice the lives of thousands of people for you alone. But I can promise you that if there is an appropriate opportunity to take Jie Li's life, his life will be yours.
It's just this time, we need to wait. You can't kill him unless I nod. As for your assassination of him this time, I have already sent people to tell him, and he will not mention it again, nor will he appear in your presence again.
This matter has been revealed in front of you, what do you think?"
Li Yourong lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "My maid, please obey your Majesty's arrangements."
Li Shimin laughed, no matter whether Li Yourong was sincere or fake. As the emperor and her uncle, what Li Shimin wanted was the result. As long as the result was satisfactory to him, he didn't really care what Li Yourong thought.
Suddenly, he remembered what happened today again, and asked, "Yourong, were you there when Li Mu came to see my father? What was the reason for such nonsense today?"
Li Yourong didn't hide it, so she told Li Shimin about the conversation between Li Mu and Li Yuan. But she still had a conscience and did not call Li Mu "old man" Li Yuan, nor mentioned any disrespectful criticisms towards Li Shimin. She only talked about Li Mu's today.
The abnormality is related to Li Ji and his son.
After speaking, Li Yourong continued: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, this incident all happened because of me. I also feel deeply ashamed of General Li Ji's family. I would like to apply to your Majesty, can I use my reward?"
,exchange……"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shimin. Li Shimin said angrily: "Don't listen to that kid Li Mu's nonsense. The matter of Li Ji and his son is related to you, but fundamentally it has nothing to do with you.
This kid Li Mu actually dares to criticize me behind my back! He is really audacious! I have to take care of him, so don’t take it to heart. Take good care of your father and I will handle the matter."
Upon seeing this, Li Yourong knew that no matter what he said, Li Shimin would not listen, so he stopped talking. At this time, Little Eunuch Chen sneaked up again and said that Changsun Wuji and the king had arrived, so Li Yourong used the excuse of taking care of Li Yuan to show his interest
Resigned and left.
After Li Yourong went out, Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao and said, "Gao Gan, do you think what she said is true or false?"
"I think..." Eunuch Gao pondered for a moment and said, "At most three points true."
"Haha," Li Shimin nodded, but didn't say anything else. He said to Mr. Chen who was waiting at the door: "Let the people downstairs disperse. What does it look like to kneel together! Let the auxiliary machine and uncle come up.
See me! I want to see how they are going to plead for that bastard!"
