Dragon Palace.
As soon as Xue Wanche was carried away, His Majesty Li Er was still thinking about Fang Jun's words, when a servant came to report and the prince came to see him. His Majesty Li Er naturally summoned him, but he was inevitably suspicious in his heart. Could it be that the prince was also involved in this matter? The nature is very different...
He could tolerate Fang Jun's pretense for personal gain, and he could tolerate Xue Wanche's stupidity and lack of brains, but if there was any instruction from the prince, he would never tolerate it.
As the Crown Prince of the East Palace, you have the Sixth Guards of the East Palace to rule, but you insert your hand into the Sixteenth Guards. What do you want to do?
Sitting behind the desk, His Majesty Li Er looked gloomy as he watched the prince walk in from the door.
In the past two years, the prince has been treated by Sun Simiao. The foot disease is no longer as serious as before, and it is naturally impossible to recover as before. But at least there is not much pain when walking, and the rain and snow are not as painful as usual. His face looks much better.
Li Chengqian was already handsome, but because he was too depressed and violent in the past, his temperament inevitably tended to be gloomy, which made people look very uncomfortable. However, now, although there is not much expression on the white jade-like cheeks, the eyebrows are sparse and bright, and the brilliance is shining. Even though he is lame, he still looks graceful and handsome, just like a handsome young man in troubled times, as rich as jade.
The gloomy atmosphere in His Majesty Li Er's heart dissipated in an instant...
What could make an emperor feel more comfortable than seeing his heir becoming more and more promising?
A smile overflowed from His Majesty Li Er's lips. When the prince came forward and bowed, he rarely walked out from behind the desk, took the prince's hand, sat down at the table next to the window, and first ordered the servants to burn incense. After having tea and snacks, he said to the prince with a smile: "It has been cold recently and there has been heavy snowfall. Will my son's foot disease relapse?"
The prince was quite flattered and said quickly: "Thank you for your concern, father. I am afraid... Thanks to Master Sun's medical skills, he has repeatedly used acupuncture to adjust the veins of my son this year, and also used medicine and stones to sort out the vitality, so the injured areas have been healed." He recovered very quickly. Apart from the occasional pain, he can walk normally without any serious problems. But with this disabled body, even though Taoist Master Sun is a scholar of heaven and man, he is unable to do anything. This makes my father worried, and it is an unfilial son and minister."
The foot disease is not only a pain in his heart, but also the most disappointing thing for His Majesty Li Er.
The majestic crown prince of a country will succeed in the future and hold the sun and moon in his hands, but he has a disabled body, which really damages the national prestige of the glorious Tang Dynasty. On more than one occasion, the emperor expressed his disappointment and distress over his foot disease. The frequent thoughts of easy storage were closely related to the foot disease...
However, today, His Majesty Li Er not only did not show the slightest bit of disappointment, but instead comforted him with gentle words: "The fate of a person is dictated by heaven. All kinds of encounters are caused by hardships from heaven to strengthen the will. Only those who can withstand all kinds of hardships Only men can take on big responsibilities and make achievements. My son should not let his foot disease lead him to despair. Because of this, he must work harder to improve himself. The so-called disabled body but strong will can make the world admire him more than those who are physically strong. Even in the history of history, it can be remembered for thousands of years."
"My father's words, I dare not or forget them in this life! I will definitely obey my father's will, work conscientiously, work hard, and will not be decadent because of my disability, nor will I be arrogant because of my life experience, nor will I be cruel and tyrannical because of my noble blood..."
Li Chengqian was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He quickly stood up and left the table, knelt at the feet of His Majesty Li Er, and spoke in a sonorous tone to make his ambition clear.
The "Easy Prince" crisis that has been shrouding his heart for a long time, after his father said these words, means that there will be no more troubles. His position as the crown prince is already extremely solid, as long as he does not lose his mind and commit suicide. , no one can shake this position.
His Majesty Li Er chuckled, stretched out his hand to pull his eldest son up, and asked him to sit down, and then asked: "Did Fang Jun come to see you and talk about the royal seal of King Silla?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "I have indeed mentioned...Father, I think that it is the best choice for the third brother to go to Silla to inherit the throne, both for the stability of the Tang Dynasty's borders and for the third brother himself. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. We brothers are all the flesh and blood of our father. This world was conquered by our father. Naturally, everyone should have a share, and children and ministers should not dare to take it as their own... However, if you are born in the heavenly family, family matters It is also a state matter. Even if I have the intention of being humble, I have to put the safety of the empire and the future of the country first. But whether it is Qingque, the third brother, or even the child slave, they are all the brothers and sisters of my father and the emperor. The foundation is shouldered by my son and minister, but the brothers have to sit idle, unable to extend their talents, and waste their ambitions to become a rich and idle king... I feel guilty in my heart! If the third brother can become the master of Silla, so will The bones and blood of my father are scattered all over the world. Thousands of years later, the world has changed, and no one knows the rise and fall of the country. But the bones and blood of my father are spread all over the world, and the Tang Dynasty will last forever!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
His Majesty Li Er praised three times in a row, feeling extremely relieved.
Whether it is the prince, Qingque, Li Ke, Zongnu, or even Li Zhen, Li Min and other princes, they are all his flesh and blood. As a father, how can he not love him? In that bloody battle under the Xuanwu Sect, although he won this beautiful country, he also cut off the brotherhood and endured the contempt of the world. Every time he dreamed back at midnight, he would see the bloody Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji crying and calling for him. He was desperate, and the two brothers and the whole family were crying, which made his hair stand on end...
At that time, he was forced by the situation and had no choice but to do so.
But now, he absolutely doesn't want that scene to happen again to his sons!
The prince has a weak character and may not be able to expand the territory and build a large empire like himself, but with the help of ministers such as Fang Jun and Ma Zhou in the court, maintaining the empire will not be a problem. It is this weak character that makes the prince very indecisive. It may be a big disadvantage when it comes to state affairs, but it has become the best advantage for his brothers because he cannot be ruthless!
"In this case, when the court meeting is held, my son will hand over a memorial and recommend Ke'er to be the king of Silla."
"Here!"
"What else can happen to my son?"
"For the record, my father, I have a private matter..."
"oh?"
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and was quite surprised: "You might as well talk about it and listen to it. As long as you don't go too far, my father will agree."
The relationship between every father and his eldest son in the world seems not to be harmonious. It's not that they don't have a good relationship with each other, but that there are always some barriers that make communication always unsatisfactory. This is the same for fathers and sons in the world.
In His Majesty Li Er's memory, it seems that the Crown Prince has never mentioned private matters in front of him...
This intrigued him.
Could it be that he fell in love with someone's girl and asked his father to come forward to propose marriage? It's not impossible. Generally speaking, such matters are naturally under the jurisdiction of the queen, but after the death of Queen Changsun, he never appointed a queen, leaving the harem without a master. It was unexpected that the prince came to him...
Regarding such matters, His Majesty Li Er never disciplined and restrained his son, because he himself was a womanizer and was not qualified to teach others. Two years ago, I heard that a woman from the Xu family in the Great Wall was beautiful and intelligent, so I couldn't bear it anymore, so I summoned her to the palace and accepted her as a talented person. She was later named Jieyu, and not long ago she was promoted to Chongrong, doubling her favor.
The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This is probably the case...
Li Chengqian said casually: "Xu Jingzong, a member of Zhongshushe, has two twin girls. The day before yesterday, I was drinking and enjoying the snow with Qingque and Fang Jun by the Qujiang Pool. I met them by chance. They are indeed a pair of beauties with a loving heart... …”
"no!"
Before he could finish speaking, His Majesty Li Er had flatly refused.
Regarding Xu Jingzong, His Majesty Li Er deeply loved his talent, but he despised his character and was always vigilant. How could he allow Xu Jingzong's daughter to enter the East Palace? With Xu Jingzong here, it will be difficult to ensure that the prince's palace will not be peaceful in the future, and trouble will arise in the palace, overnight!
Besides, with Xu Jingzong’s qualifications, how many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty will be able to rule?
Absolutely not!
"It's not because of my father's interference in the affairs of my son's palace. I am a fair lady and a gentleman is fond of rebelliousness. As long as he can always exercise restraint and not become licentious and immoral, my father will not interfere too much. However, I will definitely not interfere with the daughter of Xu Jingzong! If my son If there are other candidates, you might as well include them in the East Palace, and my father will never interfere."
Li Chengqian was stunned, blinking his eyes, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Father has misunderstood. It's not that I am jealous of my son, but that Fang Jun entrusted me to ask for a decree from my father..."
"Asshole!"
His Majesty Li Er became more and more angry and shouted: "How courageous he is! He has fallen in love with someone else's daughter, and he just wants to marry it and bring it home. How dare he encourage the prince to come forward for him and ask me to marry him? He Who does he think he is, that he regards you and me as his slaves? This is simply unreasonable! Come here, capture this bastard and bring him to the palace. I won’t stop until I beat him until his mother doesn’t recognize him today!”
"Here!"
Hearing this, the Imperial Guards outside the Suwei Hall quickly responded. Several of them turned around and left the palace to capture Fang Jun. They couldn't help but admire Fang Jun in their hearts - this man was so capable that he could not be messed with for a day. If His Majesty gets angry a few times, it will be difficult to get through life, right?
Li Chengqian was stunned.
Dad, when did I tell Fang Jun that he wanted to marry Xu Jingzong’s daughter?
Why are you trying to steal the conversation...
