"Father, has your son really changed?"
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan with tears in his eyes and choked with sobs,
"Isn't it true that Father, you have changed?"
"I am your son. I grew up in the arms of you and my mother. You always said that I am the most like you."
"Don't you still know your son's temperament? Erlang, am I... the person you say you are?!"
Li Yuan looked a little touched and relaxed his hold on Concubine Yin De.
"Father, how much I want to go back to my boyhood... At that time, with you, my mother, and my brothers and sisters, our lives were so harmonious..."
Li Shimin said with a trembling voice,
"At that time, I felt that our Li family was the best family in the world! Even now, I still think that that period was the happiest time in my life when I could most appreciate what family love is."
"But then, everything changed."
His expression suddenly darkened.
"My mother passed away, and my father fell into depression for a while, so he took in many concubines. We can never go back to that time..."
Li Shimin lowered his head and said softly,
"Later, Jinyang raised troops, and my father took control of Chang'an and ascended the throne as emperor. At that time, the situation in the world was complicated. Eighteen groups rebelled against the king, and sixty-four groups were in smoke!"
"My son is holding back his energy and must build this country for my father! I will do my best to fulfill all your requests. My whole heart is for you, my father, and for the eternal inheritance of my Li family. !”
"Of course, for my mother's sake, I still remember my mother telling me before she died that I must listen to you and don't make you angry. Because you lost your closest relatives when you were young, I, as a son, must not let you be in the family relationship again. Injured..."
Li Yuan frowned slightly and let go of Concubine Yin De.
In his mind, the appearance of his first wife, Mrs. Dou, appeared...
Dou's early death was something that made him sad every time he recalled it.
"My son gritted his teeth and spent countless efforts, finally pacifying most of the world."
Li Shimin looked up at Li Yuan and cried,
"I also sincerely hope that my father can enjoy the greatest happiness in the world! Whether it's fine wines or beautiful maids and beautiful women, I think it's okay, because I've worked hard for this, isn't it just for this?"
"But...Father, you can't distrust me like that, let alone let me recognize you as my concubine. I only have one mother and one father!"
"My son's mother... is already lying in the tomb. If she saw the situation today, and saw our father and son arguing over such a thing, she would be so sad..."
"Father! Wuwu, Wuwuwu..."
Plop!
Li Shimin's knees weakened and he fell to the ground crying bitterly. His sadness had reached the extreme!
When Li Yuan heard these words of tears, his eyes were wet with tears.
"Go back first, go back..." He pushed Concubine Yin De and said softly.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Yin De was about to throw herself into her arms, but she saw Li Yuan yelling:
"go back!"
Concubine Yin De: "!!!"
"Concubine, please retire!"
She was startled, immediately saluted Li Yuan, and quickly left the hall.
In the hall, only the father and son were left, shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
"Erlang, come on, get up..."
Li Yuan bent down to help Li Shimin up, wiped the tears from his eyes, and comforted him,
"My father went too far. My father should not have punished you indiscriminately."
"Father, I know that your mother means a lot to you, and she means the same to me..."
"I have been addicted to erotica all these years just to relieve the sadness and nostalgia..."
Li Shimin felt a chill in his heart, but he still nodded, lowered his head and said:
"My son can understand my father..."
despair.
Li Yuan's hand touched the left side of Li Shimin's face.
"Does it still hurt?" He looked at his son and asked with concern.
Li Shimin shook his head.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, as long as my father doesn't misunderstand my son, it will be fine."
He said softly,
"The pain of being cut into pieces by thousands of cuts is not as painful as a heart-wrenching word..."
Li Yuan sighed softly and nodded.
"You have always been the most sensitive child, and so was your mother, so she loved you the most back then."
He said softly,
"This time, I shouldn't have hit you, nor should I have said those words to you."
"Don't keep it in your heart and hold grudge against your father, okay?"
Li Shimin nodded heavily.
"My son, I have never had the thought of resenting my father, and I will not do so now, nor will I in the future."
He said with great sincerity,
"We are a family. No matter what happens, as long as we talk about it, it will be fine."
"One family does not speak the language of two families."
Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded happily.
"You are right, one family does not speak two languages."
He smiled, patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said,
"Okay! Let's not talk about those sad things, we still have to look forward! How was the harvest in the Qinling Mountains this time?"
This was the first time he met Li Shimin since the last court meeting, and the result was that he got angry and yelled at Li Shimin.
Li Yuan felt a little guilty at the moment, so he thought of changing the topic to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
“It’s been quite rewarding.”
Li Shimin also smiled and proudly listed the things he had hunted during this trip.
There are eight wild boars and two tigers...
Of course, he just made these up...
The father and son exchanged a few common words, and the atmosphere finally relaxed completely.
"Father, the matter between Yin Ashu and Du Ruhui..."
Li Shimin suddenly mentioned, but saw Li Yuan wave his hand.
"Okay, I don't want to get into this matter, no matter who is right or wrong."
He interrupted,
"In the final analysis, it's just a small matter. Maybe there's a misunderstanding."
"I don't want to deal with this kind of thing anymore, so don't mention it again. I won't listen to Concubine De either."
Classic and slimy.
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this.
"Yes, Father."
He saluted and said,
"It's getting late, and I dare not delay my father's handling of government affairs."
Li Yuan nodded repeatedly.
"Well, well, you have your own things to do, so go ahead!"
He waved his hand and warned,
"Be careful on the road."
"Yes, I will take my leave." Li Shimin bowed and saluted, then slowly retreated. He did not leave quickly until he was out of the palace.
Li Yuan looked at the departing figure of his second son, his eyes becoming a little deep.
"Someone is coming."
He waved towards the apse.
"His Majesty."
A lean eunuch came out in response.
"Go and make an unannounced visit."
Li Yuan ordered,
"Let's see whether King Qin lied or Concubine Yin De deceived me."
"Tell me the result tomorrow."
"According to the order."
The lean eunuch retreated in response and disappeared into the darkness.
