Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1700

After laughing for a while, he stepped forward again, firmly supported Li Jing's shoulders, lifted him up stiffly, and said with a smile: "The past is the past, and the times have changed. Why should you and I get entangled in those things that should have been recorded long ago?" Stories in the history books? Let him pass the past."

Li Jing got up and moved, "Your Majesty is magnanimous, but the guilt in the old minister's heart, how can we let it go and let it go?"

His Majesty Li Er took Li Jing's hand and said emotionally: "In these years, I have often thought about the past in my heart. Although I have resentment towards Wei Gong in my heart, I have also realized that I am not without fault. I know you Li Yaoshi It's that stubborn rock that never changes, and still expects you to make a decision that goes against your will... Although you have never fought side by side with our brothers in the Xuanwu Sect, if it weren't for your prestige and influence in the army, the Xuanwu Sect would probably have died. The result is completely different…”

Li Jing really didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to say such words from the bottom of his heart. He was so moved that he choked up and said: "Your Majesty, you know that these years, the old minister often thinks about the scene when he stood by and watched his brothers fight to the death at Xuanwu Gate. , I regret like a poisonous snake biting my heart..."

His Majesty Li Er patted his hand and said with a smile: "Let it go, let's all let it go. We are all getting old, why should we indulge in the stories of the past? We should look forward, come, come, have a taste of Changle How is your tea ceremony skill?"

As he spoke, he dragged Li Jing to the side coffee table and sat down.

Naturally, Li Jing would not be rude, and saluted Changle and Jinyang: "The old minister has seen your highness..."

Changle and Jinyang Qiqi refused to accept it, so they held back their skirts and returned the salute, saying: "Duke Wei is so polite..."

Li Jing just sat down and let Princess Jinyang fill the teacup in front of him obediently with light green tea soup. With a smile on his old face, he carefully observed Princess Jinyang's complexion, and said to His Majesty Li Er gratifiedly: Empress De's funeral... The old minister saw that His Royal Highness Jinyang's complexion was not good, and he was afraid that he would be sick when he grows up, but now he sees that the Qi and blood are flowing smoothly and the meridians are smooth, and it is really a worrying thing in his heart."

Princess Jinyang smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Duke Wei, for your concern. Sizi's body is really much better now!"

His Majesty Li Er offered Li Jing a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "Sun Simiao is already stationed in Guanzhong. The old god is no longer roaming around when he is old, but he is able to attack Sizi from time to time to recuperate his body. This is all thanks to him."

As soon as Li Jing picked up the teacup, he heard Princess Jinyang say softly: "Sun Daochang's medical skills are amazing, but my brother-in-law has also done a lot of hard work for my daughter's illness. He gave her a recipe, even Sun Daochang said it is extremely beneficial. The condition of my daughter..."

When the little princess saw that His Majesty Li Er only praised Sun Simiao and credited Sun Simiao for the treatment of her illness, she was inevitably upset and protested.

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "All right, all right, the club is also somewhat credited... But if it doesn't cause trouble all day long."

Princess Jinyang said softly: "That's why others provoke brother-in-law first, okay..."

Li Jing heard that Princess Jinyang had been defending this "brother-in-law", and wondered, "Which son-in-law is it?"

He naturally knew that His Majesty Li Er had many children, more than a dozen daughters. It was said that when Princess Jinyang called those son-in-laws, she should wear the title of the princess to show the difference, but this is only called "brother-in-law", which shows that they are really close.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "It's Fang Jun."

Li Jing suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Fang Er's stick... But although the kid is doing something recklessly, his talent is unique. It is absolutely amazing to praise him for being amazing. Fang Xuanling is very lucky, and His Majesty is also good Good luck!"

His Majesty Li Er let out a "hey" and said, "What a blessing! You only saw that Fang Er when he was brilliant, he made countless things and caused countless troubles behind his back, and he was so annoying. It's a blessing! I'm so surprised, Fang Xuanling and other gentle gentlemen, how did they give birth to such a troublemaker?"

Li Jing laughed and said: "Your Majesty's words are biased. The more troublesome a child is, the more promising he will be when he grows up. After all, Fang Er is a little younger and has limited experience. Most of the time, he acts recklessly based on his temperament. After a few years, when his temperament calms down, he can become the humerus of His Majesty. From the perspective of veterans, this son is certainly not as stable as Fang Xuanling, but his talent is far superior to that of his father, and he is both civil and military. Only His Majesty With proper training, our Great Tang will definitely add another famous official and good prime minister."

After hearing Li Jing's praise, Princess Jinyang happily poured tea, and said sweetly, "Duke Wei drinks tea."

However, he only poured tea for Li Jing and left His Majesty Li Er aside. He was clearly dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er's evaluation and protested...

His Majesty Li Er helplessly spread his hands: "Look, girls are extroverted, that's it."

Li Jing sighed: "Your Majesty is good at teaching children, Your Highness is innocent and innocent, the old minister is really envious!"

The two chatted for a while, Li Jing took out the memorial, handed it to His Majesty Li Er with both hands, and said: "This is the memorial of the old minister's resignation, and I hope His Majesty will approve it."

His Majesty Li Er did not go to pick it up, but took a sip slowly from the teacup, stared into Li Jing's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Have you figured it out?"

Li Jing said calmly: "Think about it... Now that the national power is prosperous and the army is invincible, where is there any place for veterans to go into battle? A generation of new people replaces old ones. This is a manifestation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The veterans are extremely pleased."

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a while, and asked: "What are your plans in the future? Or should you live in seclusion in the mansion and avoid seeing guests?"

Li Jing took a breath, put down his teacup, straightened his back, and said solemnly: "I heard that Fang Xuanling wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River, and I want to go with him, enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and also see the invincible navy sailing across the seven seas along the way. "

This move has deep implications.

The most important point is to be able to see His Majesty Li Er's attitude towards him now.He sees it, but he doesn't know if His Majesty Li Er can see it, whether it can let him take off all the burdens on him, live the rest of his life according to his own wishes, or continue to stay in the mansion as a worker dead……

So at this moment, he just clenched his heart and stared straight at any expression on His Majesty Li Er's face.

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, got up and said: "Just now Sizi wrote a picture, Wei Gong, you are a sage with both civil and military skills, you might as well give me some advice."

Li Jing was at a loss, if he could do it, if he couldn't, I would give up, what words should he read?
But at this moment, I had no choice but to get up, followed His Majesty Li Er to stand beside the book case, leaned slightly, and read the handwriting on the book case...it was a song "Chibi Nostalgia" by Fang Jun.

"The great river goes to the east to scour all the waves, and the romantic person through the ages..."

"Feather fan and scarf, while talking and laughing, the mast and scull are wiped out..."

"My homeland travels, I am full of love and laugh at me, and I am born early. Life is like a dream, and one statue is still in the river moon..."

What else does Li Jing not understand?

This is simply a portrayal of his first half of life. He took refuge in Li Tang, won countless battles, and gained the reputation of "Military God" in the army. Confessed as a minister, wiped out.

Of course, to him, and to His Majesty Li Er, the most important thing in the whole poem is the last sentence_
Life is like a dream, and one of them is still in Jiangyue...

Looking back on the past, it suddenly seemed like a dream.

When the wind is gone, the years are old, and the ambitions go with the river, there is only one turbid wine to pay homage to the bright moon...

Li Jing shook his head and laughed, turned around to look at His Majesty Li Er and said, "I heard that Fang Erlang once recommended an old minister to serve as the great sacrificial wine in the lecture hall?"

His Majesty Li Er raised his sword eyebrows: "It is true."

Li Jing clasped his fists in salute, and said solemnly: "Although the old minister is old and unable to mount a horse or draw a bow, he dare not or forget what he has learned in his chest. After living in the mansion these years, he also compiled many years of military experience into a book, intending to pass it on to future generations. Therefore, the old minister begs His Majesty to allow this matter, so that the old minister can succeed in what he has learned throughout his life, and can devote his last effort to His Majesty's great cause, so that he can die without regret."

After all, he looked at His Majesty Li Er calmly.

The more selfless you are, the more magnanimous you are.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Jing in front of him, although he was getting old, but his eyes were still as sharp as a gun, and he was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

"In this case, Duke Wei still needs to do his best to make our Tang army strong and prosperous in the world, and do our best."

As he said that, he took Li Jing's memorial and put it gently on the desk without looking at it. He said, "This memorial is approved. As for going to the south of the Yangtze River..." He raised his head and patted Li Jing smiled and said, "This country was brought back by me and all my lovers with flesh and blood swords and guns. Duke Wei's contribution is outstanding. Therefore, the world is so big, is there any place that you Li Yaoshi can't go to?"

Li Jing let out a long breath, bowed down again, his eyes were moist, and said respectfully: "Old minister, thank you for your kindness."

Years of suspicion and fear, like a bubble, once disillusioned...
