"Come on, sit down first." Li Shimin pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Li Ke to sit down.
Lao Li had spoken, and no one dared to talk nonsense. Li Ke naturally simply sat down. Lao Li was obviously very emotional today. His son was getting married, and the father must have many thoughts. Li Ke could understand.
"Speaking of which, your eldest brother, Li Tai, got married very early. At that time, although I was also feeling emotional, I didn't feel much. After all, I was young at that time."
"And now, I am already old. I am already forty-one this year, and I am already running towards the age where I will know my destiny. When I got up this morning and they were combing my hair, I realized that, without knowing it, During this time, I already have a lot of white hair on my head." Li Shimin said with emotion.
Li Ke followed Li Shimin's words and looked at his temples. Although Li Shimin wore a hair crown and tried his best to push the white hair into it when combing his hairstyle, he could still see a lot of white hair stubbornly coming out of the gaps. Showed.
Li Shimin himself didn't say it, and Li Ke didn't even realize that the high-spirited Tian Khan who had just traveled through time had changed from black hair to white hair.
His body is not as strong as before, but has a hint of fatness common to middle-aged people. His speech is not as strong as before, and even the high-spiritedness that uniquely belongs to Tian Khan in the pitcher's pitch is gone.
If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing, he would have looked more like an ordinary middle-aged man.
To be honest, Li Ke's perception is very strange. He has no father-son feelings for Li Shimin. After all, his body was a mature soul when he traveled through time, and he has his own parents.
Therefore, it is difficult for Li Shimin or Yang Fei to assume the role of his parents. However, after so many years, their care and so on, Li Ke's relationship with them is more like a unique family relationship.
Many times, Li Ke regards Li Shimin as his godfather deep down in his heart. People's feelings come from getting along with each other. After so many years, although Li Ke did not regard Li Shimin as his real father deep down in his heart.
But he has regarded them as his elders, and they are the kind of elders who have good feelings.
Therefore, when Li Shimin said this, Li Ke was also a little emotional. Yes, he had been in Datang for more than ten years without knowing it.
From being a child to having a family today, this feeling is indeed very strange.
"The reason why I just said you can bear more is because I thought of you when you were a child, the kid who bumped around like a newborn calf."
"Unconsciously, I have grown up to this big and become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said with emotion.
"Do you know? I was very worried about you back then. I have been thinking, if I were gone, how many people would you offend with your character? I told your elder brother in private more than once that you will definitely You have to keep an eye on this kid, otherwise he will offend too many people." Li Shimin looked kind.
"But now, many of your performances have impressed me, and even made me feel ashamed."
Just when Li Ke wanted to be humble, Li Shimin waved his hand to stop him and continued: "You don't have to argue. Your father and I think I still have some talents. I started leading troops to fight when I was fourteen. Until now, I have no confidence in myself." There is a deep understanding.”
"There's nothing we can't say between father and son. We're not as good as we are. Although we're not as good as each other, I'm very happy because you were born to me. You are worse than me. The future of the Tang Dynasty depends on you." Li Shimin stretched out his hand. Patted Li Ke on the shoulder.
Li Ke was a little moved. Old Li rarely showed his true feelings, but today's words were obviously spoken as a father.
"My son knows." Li Ke replied seriously.
"As long as you know, to be honest, I never thought that Datang would be what it is today, or I never dared to think about it. I took over Datang out of necessity, but now the situation in Datang is very good."
"You don't have these problems either, but with your help, Datang has been able to reach what it is today, which is beyond the capabilities of your father and me. To be honest, I have to think about many of the things you have proposed for a long time. It makes sense.”
"Many times I feel like I don't have enough energy. When I think back to my twenties, fortunately, I still have you, your father, and your big brother."
"To be honest, I have no idea how far the Tang Dynasty can go. I know that there is no eternal dynasty, but I just hope that, as you said, we can bring as many as possible Culture and inheritance are left to future generations.”
"At least prove to the world that we have been here."
"So, dad just said that you have to endure more, because dad is really powerless many times, but Datang is your hard work, and dad can't just sit back and watch your hard work be wasted, or be like a flash in the pan in the end. ."
"So your father and I can only work hard, but when Datang can get on the right track and when it can reach the next step, it depends on you." Li Shimin said seriously.
"Dad, don't worry, I know." Li Ke said seriously to the inside. Lao Li's words were already serious, so Li Ke could only continue seriously.
On this occasion today, Lao Li was serious about talking about some serious topics.
"The Queen Mother didn't say much to you. I wanted to explain to you some ways of getting along between husband and wife, but thinking that you have always been a considerate person, Ke'er, the Queen Mother didn't say much more. Anyway, Ke'er, you are the one who cares about me. Just remember one sentence.”
"That is, don't give your best to outsiders, and leave your worst to your relatives." Empress Changsun also said seriously.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for teaching me. I will keep this in mind."
"Ke'er, you got married today, and my mother's heart has been relieved. She doesn't understand what you are doing. You and your father are both people who do big things, so my mother can help you behind the scenes. In the past, when you were a child, grandma could give you advice on some things, but now that you have grown up, you no longer need it."
Concubine Yang spoke softly. When she said this, she couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
I don't know why, but Li Ke, who didn't think anything of it at first, suddenly felt like crying when he heard Concubine Yang's words, "You have grown up and are no longer needed."
"Okay, today is a happy day. Don't cry anymore. It's over here, Ke'er. You can go to other tables to accompany the guests." Li Shimin waved his hand.
