Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1699 Li Jing's Audience
Taiji Palace, Shujing Palace.

The windows on the north side are open, and the breeze is floating. The blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the lake water in front of the window, surrounded by corridors, and the scenery is moving.

In the study room, Princess Jinyang held a delicate Zihao pen in her slender hand, her eyelids drooped, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes were focused on the rice paper under the pen, and the bright wrists of bullying Saixue moved lightly, each one round and smooth. The gorgeous handwriting suddenly jumped on the paper.

Beside her, Princess Changle wore a graceful Taoist gown, holding a square of ink in her slender hand and rubbing the ink lightly in the inkstone. While looking at Princess Jinyang's beautiful side face, her serious look made her lips overflow. A faint yet gentle and pampering smile...

His Majesty Li Er wore a normal suit, his black hair was tied behind his head with a yellow ribbon, without a crown, as if he was dressed at home.

At this moment, the upper body is leaning forward slightly, watching Princess Jinyang splashing ink on the rice paper, but her expression is slightly dissatisfied...

After finishing the last word, Princess Jinyang closed the pen, raised her head, and saw His Majesty Li Er's expression, she was a little depressed: "Father, is your daughter's handwriting not good?"

His Majesty Li Er knew that his little daughter had misunderstood. The reason why he was dissatisfied was not because of this handwriting. Even a bachelor may not be able to write like this.

only……

"Why did you abandon Feibai and not use it, but you started to study this body?" His Majesty Li Er frowned, and his tone was not angry.

The two princesses stared at each other for a moment, and then, Princess Changle covered her lips and smiled, while Princess Jinyang stroked her forehead with her hand, looking helplessly at her father... You are the emperor, why are you jealous over such a thing?Just because you didn't practice Feibaishu, which you are good at, but practiced Fangzi, you have such a dark face, as if someone owes you money, it's so childish...

However, Princess Jinyang still comforted her father, she put down her pen and hugged her father's arm, and said with a smile: "It's not that Fei Bai has written a lot recently, and he hasn't entered the country yet. I think I should write in a different style of writing." , maybe there may be some unexpected gains."

The words are nice to hear, but in fact you are full of slander in your heart, your mind is really narrower than the nose of a needle...

How could His Majesty Li Er not know that his daughter was coaxing him?He also knows that he is narrow-minded, but when he thinks that his daughter who has admired him since she was a child and sees her Feibai handwriting is so good, she has followed her practice and now rewrites the cursive handwriting... It is unavoidable to be extremely upset. There is a treasure that is treasured by others. Stolen depression.

"Hmph, this Fang style is just a novelty, it has its own style, but it's really not very interesting... A few days ago, I asked Fang Jun to write a poem, but there has been no movement until today. If Jiang Lang is exhausted, that's all. , if you forget what I said, hum, I want him to look good!"

Thinking of the recent turmoil in the court, although Fang Jun did not take the initiative to instigate all the troubles, none of them were inseparable from him. Thinking of his passiveness, His Majesty Li Er became more and more depressed.

Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes, leaned against her father, and said softly: "Brother-in-law has been wronged recently, and his mind is inevitably disturbed. How can he still have the energy to write poems and lyrics? Father is the son of heaven, you should be considerate of your subjects, Just give it some more time, depending on brother-in-law's talent, there must be a work that father is satisfied with."

His Majesty Li Er snorted, with a dark face, and shouted: "You girl, turn your elbows out..."

Just as she was about to continue yelling at her to teach her daughter who is "one of my own people", suddenly there was a sudden sound of footsteps downstairs, and the head servant Wang De ran up panting...

His Majesty Li Er was feeling upset, seeing Wang De's impolite behavior, he immediately reprimanded him: "You are already old, and you are still so frizzy, how can you be decent?"

Wang De ran up in a panic, and was scolded by the emperor, but he did not explain, but hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has entered the palace to see you..."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, and without turning his mind for a while, he subconsciously asked, "Who?"

Wang Dedao: "Duke Wei, Li Jing."

His Majesty Li Er: "..."

Li Jing?

Didn't the old man hide in the mansion for many years to save his life, never even seeing his relatives and friends?

Li Jing's wife passed away last year. His Majesty Li Er ordered his tomb to follow the old rules of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty. The tomb was built in the shape of Iron Mountain in Turkic territory and Jishi Mountain in Tuyuhun territory, in recognition of Li Jing's special achievements.

Even though there are thousands of opinions and dissatisfaction with Li Jing, His Majesty Li Er cannot deny Li Jing's great contributions to Li Tang.

Li Jing went to the cemetery for the burial, and kowtowed in front of the grave in the direction of the Taiji Palace to thank him. That was the only time Li Jing left the palace in these years...

His Majesty Li Er has both resentment and jealousy towards Li Jing, and Li Jing also knows it well. With the friendship between us, I will guarantee you a long life.

But now Li Jing came to the palace to have an audience, is this intended to break this tacit understanding?
His Majesty Li Er squinted his eyes and remained silent for a while, before he said: "See you at Xuanqi Liangyi Palace..." But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he asked again: "Can Duke Wei wear official robes?"

Wang Dedao: "No, it's just ordinary clothes, and I don't have any support to follow. I came here alone in a carriage."

His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, and said: "Then don't bother, you go to Xuanwei Gong, and I will summon you here."

Wang De was stunned for a moment, this seemed to be incompatible with etiquette, this is the bedroom of Princess Changle, and Li Jing is a foreign minister... But he didn't dare to ask more, it was related to the grievances between the emperor and Li Jing, as the chief servant Naturally, he knew more than others, and understood that he must not participate in it, so he immediately took the order to quit.

Princess Jinyang wanted to pack up the rice paper on the desk, but His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "No, just put it here."

Princess Jinyang was stunned for a moment, then obediently retreated to the side.

Princess Changle looked at her father's face, and said softly: "My daughter is going to make tea..."

His Majesty Li Er was noncommittal, with a gloomy expression.

Not long after, footsteps were heard downstairs...

Li Jing, who was dressed in ordinary clothes and tall and tall, came upstairs, and saw His Majesty Li Er sitting in the middle, and the two princesses of Changle and Jinyang were boiling water and making tea in front of a table. In the teapot, there was a faint fragrance of tea.

Li Jing stepped forward, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "Veteran Li Jing, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Jing's gray hair, wrinkled cheeks, and was in a daze for a moment... Then, he stood up unexpectedly, walked out from behind the desk, and bent forward to support Li Jing's arms, Wen Yan said: "Why does Duke Wei perform such a grand ceremony? This is not the court, you and I don't talk about the courtesy of the emperor and ministers, get up quickly!"

Li Jing didn't insist either, and was supported by His Majesty Li Er to stand up straight, the monarch and his subjects looked at each other, with mixed feelings for a moment, speechless.

The years of fighting side by side, the retreat and abandonment, the friendship, the rift...all seemed to come to the hearts of the two at this moment.

Li Jing took a step back, avoiding His Majesty Li Er's support, once again he bowed to the ground, and said in a shy voice: "Old minister, I beg Your Majesty..."

For Li Jing, this is a misdemeanor nearly 20 years late.

When His Majesty Li Er launched the Xuanwumen Change, Li Jing insisted not to participate in it because it was immoral and chaotic.Even during the years when he had to live in seclusion in the mansion to save his life, he never thought that what he did was wrong, so he never bowed his head and gave in.

However, as he was getting older recently, his understanding of the court and his understanding of life gradually made him realize that he had indeed done something wrong back then.

Not to mention whether the nature of the Xuanwu Gate Change was killing brothers and brothers to usurp the throne, but just saying that His Majesty Li Er was at that moment and in that position. No matter what His Majesty Li Er thought, the Xuan Wu Gate Change would inevitably happen.

Even if His Majesty Li Er doesn't want to do it, the general trend will push him to do it...

Since it has to be done, where is the right or wrong?

And just because I insisted on the so-called justice and loyalty, I complained to His Majesty Li Er who had always been confidant to me, and ignored those comrades in the Qin Palace who lived and died side by side. Right?

Who the hell is too selfish...

His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a while, looking at Li Jing who was bending over and bowing, his eyes suddenly became hot, and the block that had been smoldering in his heart for more than ten years seemed to be washed away and collapsed by a hot current, and he raised his head and let out a burst of hearty laughter!

What could be more satisfying than making such an iron-boned, unyielding "Military God" willingly admit his mistakes?
