Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 970 King and minister, father and son
His Majesty Li Er was not displeased in the slightest, and had been listening quietly, listening to the most excellent son pouring out his heartfelt feelings to his father, which he had never revealed before.

Then he asked, "What about now? What do you think now?"

The depressed resentment in Li Ke's heart poured out following these words, as if a big stone that had been pressing on his chest for many years was suddenly removed, and he was refreshed and happy!

Looking directly at His Majesty Li Er with bright eyes, Li Ke couldn't help showing a smile: "Now, don't complain, not at all."

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you complain? Is it because you feel the determination of the father to not be easy to save, so you are desperate and relieved?"

"No."

Li Ke shook his head, waved his hand to drive the maid away, and personally held the pot to pour wine for His Majesty Li Er.

He was kind-hearted, and he didn't want this maid to hear too much, so she could only end up in an "accidental death", so he gave her family some money as compensation and gave her a coffin.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at the slender back of the maid who disappeared at the door, and he felt a smile from the bottom of his heart. Not only was this son similar in talent and ability to his father, but his romantic temperament was also the same.

It has to be said that he understood Li Ke's desire to protect this maid, but he obviously misunderstood Li Ke's motive for wanting to protect her.

Not everyone has the dirty idea of ​​bringing brothers, sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law into the harem...

After the maid walked away, Li Ke continued: "It's because I heard something."

His Majesty Li Er asked, "What are you talking about?"

Li Ke said: "I used to think that the emperor was unfair to his sons and officials. Is it my fault that I am not a son? Is it my fault that I have the blood of the former Sui Dynasty? Why can't I get a fair chance to talk to the prince, the prince, and the prince?" Fair competition with Qingque? Until someone said to Erchen, 'There has never been a real fairness in this world!' So Erchen suddenly thought about it."

"In this world, there has never been real fairness?"

His Majesty Li Er repeated it in a murmur, and sighed: "This is really good. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was no way out, and the world was full of wars, and the Eighteenth Road rebelled against the king. Seven 64 smoke and dust, entangled endlessly, and vowed to compete for the world and become a great treasure. The result? Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, Yu Wenhuaji, Baiyu Wang Gao Tansheng, Songyi Wang Meng Haigong, Shatuoluo Wang Luo Tiehan, Huaian Wang Tiemuping, Mingzhou Wang Zhang Dejin, Nanyang Wang Zhu Can, Northern Han Wang Xiao Xian... One after another, we were defeated and died, and finally our Li family won the country. In terms of power, the Li family is not as good as Yu Wenhuaji, and in terms of strength, the Li family is not as good as Dou Jiande... Is it fair that the Li family lost its deer? It is fair for the Li family to win the country. Really, this world has never been fair! If it weren't for a long-studied and insightful Confucian, how could he say such the most truths in the world? Ke'er, who can say such incisive remarks must be The sage of the country, who is this person?"

Li Ke opened his mouth with a constipated expression on his face...

His Majesty Li Er was displeased: "I'm asking you something, why are you in a daze?"

Li Kexin said that I am not in a daze, Dad, I am thinking about how to answer your question.

After a long time of tempering, see through the world?
Still want to learn great Confucianism, the country's sages?
Li Ke was sweating a little, seeing his father's burning eyes, he had no choice but to say: "Well, Fang Jun told Erchen what he said."

"Ah... huh?"

His Majesty Li Er was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell off.

This time the expressions of the father and son were reversed, and it was Li Er Majesty's turn to look constipated...

That little bastard can say such philosophical words?

But thinking that that guy can casually compose the classic poems sung through the ages, he is relieved.

But thinking about the tone and words I just praised, His Majesty Li Er is as disgusting as if he swallowed Xiang...

"Why haven't you talked to me so openly before?"

His Majesty Li Er decisively changed the subject.

Li Ke was a little embarrassed: "Because... the minister is a little afraid of the father."

His Majesty Li Er was a little surprised: "Why is this? Although Father is sometimes stricter, he has never punished you... Except for that bastard Li You, what are you afraid of?"

He has always paid attention to the relationship between father and son, trying to show his kind side as much as possible, and will never criticize his son easily.What's more, Li Ke's consistent performance has won him satisfaction, and sometimes he even thinks that if Li Ke is his own son, what is there to worry about as the crown prince?
So he was a little surprised that Li Ke was afraid of him.

However, Li Ke's answer surprised him even more.

Li Ke's handsome face closely resembled His Majesty Li Er's, and even the shallow decree lines on both sides of his nose were very similar when he laughed. He said with a smile: "Because I want to get it, I am afraid of losing it. I worry about gain and loss, so I am naturally afraid."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned: "Why are you not afraid now?"

Li Ke's expression was very relaxed. He poured wine for His Majesty Li Er attentively, and then raised his glass with both hands, wanting to clink glasses with His Majesty Li Er, very relaxed and happy.

"Because when the delusional thoughts that I dare not have in my heart were completely cut off, I suddenly found that the father is still the father, both the emperor and the father, and the son and the father are both monarchs and fathers..."

His Majesty Li Er also smiled, the kind of smile from the heart. He raised the wine glass with one hand, and touched his son fiercely, the wine in the glass splashed out.The father and son looked at each other and smiled, toasting and drinking.

"Happy, happy! For 15 years, father has never been so happy!"

His Majesty Li Er wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, looking very happy.

Li Ke poured the wine, but his mind was touched.

15 years?
Fifteen years ago, was it the day when the swords and shadows of the Xuanwu Gate fought each other?

It seems that even if it was that day that paved the way for his father's grand plan to rule the world, the world's infamy and inner suffering made his father feel as if he was facing an abyss, and his heart was extremely depressed.

Li Ke still clearly remembers the early morning of the next day after the Xuanwu Gate, when his father, dressed in armor and soaked in blood, returned to the Qin Palace in front of his brothers and sisters, hugging his mother and crying. The joy of being the emperor, there is only deep helplessness and deep sadness...

Before he knew it, Li Ke's face was covered with tears.

He smiled with tears on his face, looked at his father whose temples were covered with frost and snow, and said softly: "In the past, my sons and ministers were ignorant and always complained about the unfairness of fate and the unfairness of our father. They had no room to display their talents and economics. Now my son I finally figured it out, not only can't complain, but also thank the father."

His Majesty Li Er had a great time opening up his heart with his son today, and asked, "Why do you want to thank you for being a father?"

Li Ke and His Majesty Li Er looked at each other, and said softly: "If it weren't for the father, how could there be Li Ke in the world? If it wasn't for the father, how could he be so talented? If it wasn't for the father, how could my brothers and sisters come to be so rich and prosperous? How did the minister get the qualification to covet the throne?"

If His Majesty Li Er hadn't succeeded in the next battle of the Xuanwu Sect, how would their brothers have any chance to compete for the throne now?

Think about what happened to the brothers of the uncle's family and the third uncle's family.

Li Ke knew that if there were no Xuanwu Sect back then, His Royal Highness King Qin would have had a tragic end.

This is the price of power...

His Majesty Li Er was shocked, the big hand holding the wine glass was bulging, and the wine glass was almost crushed!
For 15 years, Xuanwumen has been a dead spot, a taboo for everyone in the world. No one dares to mention it before His Majesty Li Er, because it is a thorn in His Majesty Li Er's heart that will never be eliminated. The pain was so painful that he would rather die!
Whoever dares to make him unhappy, he can make anyone hurt for a lifetime!

But every time he dreams back at midnight, how can he not lament the changing world and the ruthless power?
After all, he was his elder brother, his brother, connected by blood, how could he ignore him like a pig or a dog?
But when things got to that point, the ending of brotherhood was already doomed.

If the crown prince doesn't get rid of the King of Qin, he will definitely be backlashed by the King of Qin;
If the King of Qin does not get rid of the prince, he will inevitably be eradicated by the prince.

In the process of pacifying the world and conquering cities and territories, King Qin's strength continued to expand, and he had already reached the point where he could stand against the crown prince.At this time, the position will not be changed by the will of the commander alone. As the commander, he must take into account the future and safety of his subordinates.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er is not alone, if he dies, his wife, concubine and children will have no way out.

If it was just one life, maybe His Majesty Li Er would really kill himself in front of his elder brother, with the brotherhood of a whole brother.

But if the lives of wives, concubines and children are at stake, His Majesty Li Er will not do it!

Of course he wants to fight!
Fight for the world for yourself!

Fight for the lives of wives, concubines and children!

He won the competition, and became the ninth and fifth son of Changsheng.

Li Jiancheng lost the fight, and died on the spot with his family...

It's so cruel!

His Majesty Li Er fought once, and although he won, he didn't want his son to follow his old path and fight with each other again.

Rubbing his red and sore eye sockets, His Majesty Li Er raised his cup, touched his son, and shouted: "Drinking Saint!"

All in one drink.

Li Ke unloaded his burden, happy physically and mentally, and shouted: "Drink the holy!"

The same drink.

The father and son talked in a low voice for a while, and laughed loudly for a while, and poured glasses of strong wine into their throats, and they were all drunk.

King and subject, father and son, who said that the heavenly family is ungrateful?
