Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2899 Girl's Mind

His Majesty Li Er is wise and fierce, decisive in killing and attacking, and even more so hard-hearted, doing his own way. This kind of person is called "Steel Straight Man" in later generations, because he only favors Empress Wende alone, and regards the three thousand beauties in the harem as his own. The tool is unwilling to waste half a point of emotion, which can be seen.

It's almost hopeless...

However, everyone has weaknesses. His Majesty Li Er, who is so steely and straight, has a pair of sons and daughters who grew up by his side since childhood.

He has a deep relationship with Empress Wende and his wife, not only because the Guanlong nobles behind Empress Wende helped him seize the supreme imperial throne of the Tang Dynasty. The woman who married him at the age of 13 established the Tang Dynasty with him. The foundation of the prosperous age, although expensive as a country, has not enjoyed too much honor and luxury. Its intelligence, elegance, dignity and virtuousness often make His Majesty Li Er think about it, and he feels guilty and can't help himself.

It is precisely because of this that when Empress Wende held her hand before she passed away and asked him to treat her children generously no matter what, His Majesty Li Er swore to the sky that he would never bear the burden.

So even though I have been dissatisfied with the prince for a long time, I have never been able to depose him decisively, because it is difficult for a deposed prince to have a happy ending. Just talk about how he will face his queen when he is under Jiuquan a hundred years later?
Furthermore, the children left behind by Empress Wende are all intelligent and lovely, and they are even more clever in front of me. Even the prince, who I am quite disappointed with, has become more and more "benevolent" in the past two years. Will you love me?

At this moment, Princess Jinyang's eyes fell down in front of her, tearing His Majesty Li Er's heart to pieces...

"Sizi, don't cry, don't cry."

The majestic emperor is also in a hurry at the moment, not knowing what to do.

Princess Jinyang lowered her head, her eyeballs kept falling, and said sobbingly: "Father is fierce to me."

His Majesty Li Er: "..."

Good girl, you probably don't know what is "fierce"?When you clean up King Qi, King Shu, and Fang Jun for your father, that's called "fierce", okay?

But a daughter is different from a son after all, if any son does not live up to expectations, even the most beloved pheasant slave, he has to reprimand and kick him a few times, and the daughter can only hold it in the palm of his hand...

"Yes, yes, it's my father's fault. I'm a little impatient because of my father. How about apologizing to my son? Don't cry, my son..."

His Majesty Li Er was in a hurry to wipe away the tears of his daughter, but the little girl turned her head and turned her face to the other side, sobbing and choking.

There is no way, His Majesty Li Er sighed, patted his thigh, and said angrily: "Father is indeed a little careless, but what can you do? You let father go to battle to kill the enemy and take care of government affairs, that's nothing to worry about." , but I'm really not good at raising children. It's just that your mother left early, leaving your father alone, and doesn't know how to take care of you. After a hundred years, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see you behind the scenes."

The vicissitudes of words vividly interpret the abject sorrow of a middle-aged widower.

It's just... a middle-aged widower?
Oh, you are the emperor...

Princess Jinyang bit her lips, wiped her tears with the back of her tender white hand, and retorted, "Don't say it so harshly, there are so many concubines in the father's palace, all of them are stunning in the world, and my daughter is not a fool." I have never seen Father so sad."

His Majesty Li Er knew that this girl was intelligent, so he could only say: "Whether you are sad or happy, as a father and an emperor, how can you show the anger in your heart? How many times, it is just a forced smile."

He believed what he said to a certain extent...

Although Princess Jinyang knew that her father was pretending to get her forgiveness, she still felt sorry for her father, and couldn't bear her father's serious self-blame, so she turned around, raised her beautiful eyes to look at His Majesty Li Er, and said softly: " Father, as an emperor, thinks that the family and the country are all important in his heart, why do he care about such trivial matters?"

What she was referring to was, of course, the fact that she called Fang Jun into the bedroom.

You are a majestic emperor, so many important family and country affairs are not enough for you to worry about, so you have to take care of the affairs between your sons and daughters out of nothing?
His Majesty Li Er was heartbroken: "How can this be a trivial matter? But everything that is involved with your son is a top priority in the heart of the father! After all, Fang Jun is a foreign minister, and it's fine to enter the palace normally, but how can he make it happen?" Did he call you into your bedroom privately? You have reached the age of Ji now, and you will have to find someone to marry in two years, if there are some rumors at this time, wouldn't it delay the marriage?"

Princess Jinyang pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Then the daughter is not going to marry, she just stays with her father for the rest of her life and lets her take care of her."

"Bullshit!"

His Majesty Li Er said unhappily: "Getting married, getting married and having children is the top priority of a daughter's life. Don't be like your elder sister Changle. Do you eat fast and chant scriptures all day long, is it because you want to anger your father to death?"

Speaking of Princess Changle, his head grew bigger and bigger.

That girl has long since reconciled with Changsun Chong, and her character, appearance and family background are all first-class in the world. No one dislikes her because she is a "married woman". But they all looked at each other coldly, and had no intention of getting married at all.

Especially the unclear relationship with Fang Jun made him feel uncomfortable every time he thought about it.

If this little girl also took the old road of Changle, His Majesty Li Er felt that he would be depressed to death...

"So, being a father is all for your own good. When you grow up, you have to know how to avoid suspicion. In the future, you can no longer be as close to Fang Jun as you were when you were a child."

Listening to her father's nagging instructions, Princess Jinyang didn't speak, but lowered her head again, and after a long while, she hummed softly.

There was some unexplained soreness in my heart, and I wanted to cry.

Tears rolled down again...

*****
If the Lantern Festival has not passed, it is not considered as the end of the year.

In previous years, even the entire first month would be filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. Although the yamen will open after the Shangyuan Festival, if there is no urgent matter, the officials will mostly clock in the morning, and they will be on duty at noon, and go home or go home. Find a place to eat, drink, and have fun, and don't gather your mind until February [-]nd.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient and the speed of information dissemination is extremely slow, which leads to an extremely slow pace of life. Unless people encounter natural disasters and cannot survive without enough food, they will show an appearance of indifference to the world, and live in peace and stability. live.

It's just that the new year of Zhenguan's 18th year has just passed, and on the fifth day of the new year, the whole city of Chang'an suddenly becomes tense.

The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is a national policy, and it has been in preparation for two years. Last year, if His Majesty Li Er had not suddenly contracted an illness, the army would have already set out for Liaodong.It had to be delayed for a year. Although it cost more and delayed the timing, the preparations in all aspects were more complete and sufficient after a year.

Regarding the Eastern Expedition, there is no need to rush for a while, let alone money and food, but stability.

It was not long before the three campaigns against Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty were defeated like a mountain. Now that the Tang Dynasty is about to embark on another expedition under the personal command of His Majesty Li Er, the preparations in all aspects are more than twice as sufficient as those in the previous Sui Dynasty?Therefore, although the army has not moved, no one in the ruling and opposition parties believes that Goguryeo can replicate the war 35 years ago, and it is still as safe as a rock under the mad attack of the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

……

Ministry of War Yamen.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the yamen, which was closed for the Chinese New Year, became lively. Almost all the officials were on duty. The backlog of documents during the Chinese New Year was gathered in the yamen. .

In the duty room of the Minister of the Ministry of War, Fang Jun and Jin Wang Li Zhi sat opposite each other, with a cup of tea in front of them, the tea was fragrant, but the atmosphere was not very good.

Li Zhi sat up straight, glared at Fang Jun, and asked, "The military equipment has safely arrived at the wharf in Yingzhou, and the mission of the Ministry of War has been completed. However, it is snowing all over Yingzhou. If you want to transport this batch of military equipment to the garrisons in various places Therefore, it is inevitable that the soldiers will brave the severe cold weather and use their feet to trek the high mountains and snowy ridges. I don’t know how many soldiers will be lost. Why can’t we wait until the spring is warm and enlightened in a few days before distributing the weapons calmly? They are all raised by parents , you are sitting in the warm government office like this, drinking hot tea, but let the frontline soldiers freeze to death and suffer countless frostbite injuries, how can you bear it?"

Fang Jun looked up at Li Zhi who was fighting angrily, shook his head, and took a sip of hot tea.
