Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2292 The grudge is difficult

Inside the Dragon Palace.

His Majesty Li Er knelt down beside the tea table, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at the eldest grandson Wuji who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, crying, his heart not only sighed.

Once upon a time, as his most trusted and powerful arm, he promised him a lifetime of glory, wealth and prosperity. However, today, the Guanlong forces that assisted him in his ascension to the throne have become the biggest stumbling block to the imperial power, and this brother-in-law and The eldest grandson Wuji, who is a friend and an important minister, is getting further and further away from him.

Perhaps, Tian Family is really ruthless.

Because he has too many ambitions and bears too many responsibilities, when the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in the whole world is in the hands of one person, how can he care about his personal feelings and do whatever he wants?

The power of the supreme being in the world also means that there is no one to accompany you in this way...

It stands to reason that the crime of rebellion and rebellion by Changsun Chong is unforgivable. He treated Princess Changle so badly that he was depressed and unhappy. Now he is alone. This crime cannot be forgiven. He conspired to frame the prince and caused him to be disabled. Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji lose his son in old age, heartbroken?
Sighing lightly, putting down the teacup, His Majesty Li Er said warmly: "You and I have been in love for half our lives, and we have lived and died together. Why do you kneel down and beg like this? Once upon a time, a certain person treated Chong'er as his own, and married his most beloved daughter to him. Given him glory, wealth, and high officials, who would have thought that he would rebel and rebel, and a certain person would be just as angry and distressed as you are."

Changsun Wuji knelt there and refused to get up, crying: "Your Majesty knows that the evil son has failed the emperor's grace. Even if he is hacked into pieces, it will be difficult to atone for his crime! But there is also a hidden secret in it. The evil son was punished by Li Yuanjing, Zhao Jie, and Hou. Junji and the others were bewitched by the ghosts for a while, and only then did they make a big mistake. The old minister knew His Majesty at a young age. He has devoted himself to devotion and loyalty for decades. He is willing to exchange all the titles and honors bestowed by His Majesty in exchange for the life of the evil son. I hope His Majesty will consider the meager contribution of the old minister, and spare his life!"

It's not yet the year of knowing the destiny, but a strand of hair is already gray, and at this moment trembling and kneeling in the hall, weeping, making those who hear it feel sad.

His Majesty Li Er was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said, "That's all! I will grant your request and allow my eldest grandson to rush into Goguryeo, spy on the military, and make meritorious deeds. When the Eastern Expedition is victorious and Koguryo is destroyed, I will pardon him." His sin is."

The wish was fulfilled, but Changsun Wuji didn't show any joy on his face, instead he raised his head, weeping uncontrollably.

Because he knew in his heart that even though the emperor had alienated him before, it was more of a power struggle, which did not hurt the relationship between them.

The emperor is a nostalgic person, and he will always treat those old courtiers who followed him to fight the world with some tolerance and kindness.

However, now, he saved Changsun Chong's fate of returning to Chang'an, but he also personally ruined this relationship between monarch and minister.

From now on, they are just monarchs and ministers.

His Majesty Li Er is also very sad, but the matter has come to this, what's the use of sighing?Life is always full of regrets. As an emperor, one must not only have a strong heart, but also be prepared to fight alone on the lonely road, even if he tries his best to hope that these robes who have fought bloody battles can closely follow him. Behind him, don't let the tragedy of the cunning rabbit die and the lackeys cooking happen to them...

"A certain later issued an edict to the Ministry of War, ordering him to include Chong'er in the roster of 'secret spies'. As an auxiliary machine, you should also write to Chong'er, asking him to lurk in Goguryeo and report Yuangai Suwen's movements at all times. If the troops stationed in Liaodong allow him to contact Xue Wanche through a single line and make a great contribution to the army's pacification of Goguryeo, then he will definitely forgive his crimes, make him a commoner, and allow him to return to the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji kowtowed again, and said, "Thank you for your kindness! My eldest grandson has been loyal to His Majesty and guarded His Majesty's country for life.

His Majesty Li Er sighed: "Can you still not trust the loyalty of the auxiliary machine? You don't need to say these things to me. Go home and tell your children in your family. Loyal to the king and patriotism, and be a model of a minister, how can the royal family?" Will you be ungrateful?"

Changsun Wuji felt ashamed: "The old minister should die..."

His Majesty Li Er comforted: "The auxiliary machine is relieved."

Changsun Wuji naturally knew how difficult it was for him to obtain this kind of grace. As an emperor, he was able to forgive a courtier who committed the crime of conspiracy.

What's more, she didn't want Empress Wende under Jiuquan to be sad. Back then, Empress Wende loved her eldest grandson Chong as if she was her own, and made a decision to marry her eldest daughter.

Who would have thought that Empress Wende had been buried for ten years, but the eldest grandson's family still had to rely on her blessings to preserve their children and grandchildren...

For Changsun Wuji, this is a kind of helplessness, but also a shame.

However, he had to put aside his pride and dignity and seek such a grace from His Majesty Li Er in order to preserve his eldest son...

……

Seeing Changsun Wuji walking out of the hall with his back bent, His Majesty Li Er still knelt on the spot with a sigh of relief.

After a long while, he slowly stood up, called the maid to change into a set of clothes, walked out of the Dragon Palace, walked around half of the palace, and arrived at the Shujing Palace.

The interior of Shujing Hall is cool and pleasant. There is a copper basin filled with ice cubes in the corner, and sandalwood incense rises from the crane incense burner, which makes people feel peaceful.

The clean floor is spotless, the curtains and curtains are all simple plain colors, there is a carved lacquer coffee table, a few futons, a set of black pottery tea sets on the coffee table, a bronze candlestick, and a scroll of scriptures by the window. It is a rosewood bookcase.

The whole hall is simple and elegant, quite peaceful and sullen.

His Majesty Li Er stepped on the floor, his sword eyebrows slightly frowned.

This girl now spends less and less time in the palace, most of the time she spends her time cultivating in the Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain, and her temperament is becoming more and more cold and indifferent. Looking at the furnishings in the Shujing Palace, it is clearly a green lantern The nun accompanied by the ancient Buddha, how can there be half of the luxury and nobility of the princess of the Tang Dynasty with golden branches and jade leaves?
If it is allowed to develop like this, it will be a bit bad...

A court lady had already stepped forward to salute, His Majesty Li Er asked, "Where is Your Highness?"

The maid said: "Your Highness has just finished copying a Buddhist scripture, and his hands are stained with ink. He is going to the back hall to take a bath and change clothes. This slave girl is going to invite His Highness here."

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, walked towards the coffee table in front of the window, and said casually: "No, I'll just wait for a while, and order him to come after His Highness takes a bath."

"Here."

The court lady responded softly, and offered tea again, before heading to the apse.

His Majesty Li Er dismissed all the maids on the left and right, sat behind the coffee table, glanced at the lush branches and leaves of flowers and trees outside the window, then casually picked up the volume of scriptures that had just been transcribed on the coffee table, and opened it. , the handwriting is beautiful and elegant, it is a "Tao Te Ching", I took a sip of tea, and then read it carefully.

After a while, footsteps could be heard in the apse, and Princess Changle in Taoist robes walked out briskly.

A head of smooth and shiny hair was tied in a simple bun, fixed on the head with a precious white jade hairpin, revealing a white and elegant neck, and a beautiful face without makeup, but like a lotus in clear water, captivating.

"My daughter has seen her father."

When she got close, Princess Changle bowed her skirt and saluted. Seeing His Majesty Li Er nodding slightly, she knelt down in front of the coffee table, rolled up her robe sleeves, her wrists were as bright as jade, and her bare hands were slender. She lifted the teapot and filled the teacup in front of His Majesty Li Er tea.

His Majesty Li Er put down the scroll in his hand, took a sip from his teacup, and sighed softly after putting it down: "You, self-cultivation is a good thing, but don't make yourself as clean as the Buddhists, cutting off the world. Chang'an City is prosperous. If you are rich, you have to go out for a walk and attend banquets from time to time."

The Li royal family advocates Taoism, respects Lao Tzu as their ancestor, and regards Taoism as the national religion. However, when a flowery princess immerses herself in Taoism wholeheartedly, she is quite determined to cut off the world and ignore worldly affairs. Second His Majesty was dissatisfied.

Women need husbands and children to be able to do it. They are not as old as Hua Xin, but they already have a heart that breaks through the world. How can this be done?
Princess Changle smiled gently, stroked the hair on her temples, and said softly: "Why should you be worried? My daughter just thinks that such a lighter life is more in line with her temperament. Those wine banquets and poetry parties are very noisy. My daughter has been do not like."

His Majesty Li Er looked at his daughter's face, and lamented in his heart, "soft on the outside but strong on the inside" is probably his own daughter...

Princess Changle called the maid to take the kettle away and bring a pot of boiling water instead. Seeing the worry on the father's face, she smiled brightly and said, "Okay, since the father has orders, the daughter should go out more. That is, um, Sizi and Xiaoyao are arguing to go to Furong Garden to see the lotus. It is said that there will be a poetry meeting held in Furong Garden in a few days, so the daughter will accompany Sizi and the others to get some fresh air and experience Chang'an is talented."

His Majesty Li Er: "..."
