Chapter 449 Return to Beijing
In fact, with Li Yuan, Li Ke didn't say much. Li Ke's most impression of Li Yuan was not the wise and powerful founding emperor, but the old man who lived deep in the Da'an Palace.

Taishanghuang Li Yuan was born in the first year of Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He lived through the Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties.

In addition, since the spring of last year, Li Yuan occasionally felt cold and felt unwell. During this period, Li Yuan indulged in drinking and sex, and less restraint. It is also common for patients to stay in bed, but this time it seems to be much more serious than before.

Li Ke was not in Beijing, and it was inconvenient to return to Beijing. If it was just a common headache and typhoid fever, Li Shimin would not have ordered Li Ke to return to Beijing to visit him.

After the First Battle of Nuozhenshui, Xue Yantuo attacked from east to west and fell into civil strife. On the contrary, Datang's northern line was quiet, and the left and right border defenses were fine.

The next morning, the sky was dawning, outside the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

The days of midwinter were short, Li Ke was in a hurry to return to Beijing, he got up very early, Li Ke and his team packed up, and it was not yet bright when Qichen was about to return to Beijing.

However, although it was not yet bright, the ground had already been covered with a thick layer of snow clothes after a night of heavy snow, reflecting a trace of fish-belly white in the sky, it looked bright and open, and the road ahead could be seen clearly.

Outside the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, before leaving, Li Ke, Ma Zhou, and Li Ji stood facing each other.

"The snow is heavy and the road is slippery. You don't have to be too eager for the governor to return to Beijing. You need to be careful." Ma Zhou and Li Ji told Li Ke.

Li Ke bowed his hands to Li Ji and Ma Zhou who came here to bid farewell: "Naturally, it's just that the king returned to Beijing this time and left in a hurry, so Li Changshi and King Bin will have to worry about the east of the river."

This time Li Ke returned to Beijing, just like when Li Ke was the governor of Yangzhou, he left Ma Zhou to take care of the affairs of the governor's office of Bingzhou. However, Bingzhou does not need Yangzhou after all, and it is not a place where Li Ke can cover the sky with one hand , in addition to Ma Zhou, there is naturally Li Ji who is the governor of Bingzhou Metropolitan Government.

Among the ministers in Bingzhou, if we only talk about official positions, Li Ji is the founding father of the country, the Duke of the current dynasty, and the governor of the Metropolitan Government, while Ma Zhou is only the Sima of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, so naturally he cannot be compared with Li Ji.

But in terms of closeness, Li Ji and Li Ke are just acquaintances, while Ma Zhou has followed Li Ke for many years, and can make Li Ke rely on his family and life. The relationship with Li Ke is much closer than Li Ji.

This time when Li Ke returned to Beijing, in order to balance the situation in Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and not let others speak up, this is how he made the words just now. Li Ke's purpose is also very simple, nothing more than telling Li Ji and Ma Zhou After he left, the affairs of Hedong were handed over to them, and everything should be discussed and handled by the two of them, not arbitrarily decided.

"No." Li Ji and Ma Zhou are both smart people. As soon as Li Kezhi's words came out, they understood Li Ke's meaning and agreed in unison.

After Li Ji responded to Li Ke's words, he stepped forward and said to Li Ke: "The last general has something else to do. I would like to ask the governor to help me."

Li Ke asked: "What's the matter? Li Changshi just said it was."

Li Jidao: "The Supreme Emperor will be gracious in the end. This time, the Supreme Emperor is seriously ill. The last general's responsibility lies, and there is no sacred order, so he is not allowed to return to Beijing. I hope the governor will send a message to the General. Please take care of yourself. Tomorrow In the end, I will go to Chang'an to visit again."

Back then Li Ji was a general of the Tang Dynasty. He was captured by Dou Jiande and surrendered to Dou Jiande. Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of killing Dou Jiande's general Cao Dan, he surrendered to Li Tang again.

In the early Qin and early Chu dynasties, it was a taboo for ministers, but Li Yuan, who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at that time, still believed in Li Ji and ordered him to take charge of the army, which is why Li Ji is today.Li Yuan's relationship with Li Ji has long been more than just the kindness of knowing one's encounter.

Hearing this, Li Ke's face was quite serious, he nodded, and said to Li Ji, "I will definitely bring Li Changshi's words with me."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he was about to step up and board the car, but at this moment, Li Ke stopped suddenly, turned his head, and sighed to Li Ji: "Li Changshi should stay in Jinyang for a good life. The next time the king returns to Beijing, he does not expect to meet Li Changshi in Chang'an."

Li Ke, the governor of Bingzhou, has returned to Beijing, and Bingzhou must leave someone who can still take charge, and this person is naturally Li Ji.And if Li Ji also returned to Beijing, and Li Ke and Li Ji met in Chang'an, it would mean that something huge like Li Yuan's death had happened.

Li Ke said that he didn't want to meet Li Ji in Chang'an, that is, he hoped that Li Yuan could survive the current test.

Hearing this, Li Ji sighed lightly, and said: "What the governor said is very true, I hope that I will see you in Jinyang next year with the governor."

--------------

Chang'an, Da'an Palace, Chuigong Palace.

In the Chuigong Hall, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was lying on the bed lying inside, when he suddenly heard footsteps beside his ears.

"But the young lady from the Wu family is here?" Li Yuan had already heard the sound of footsteps, so he asked.

Wu Meiniang who was in the palace heard Li Yuan calling her, walked quickly to the side of the bed, bowed her knees and said: "Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the emperor's grandfather."

Li Yuan beckoned, motioning for Wu Meiniang to sit down in front of him.

Wu Meiniang followed Li Yuan's bed, sat down on the brocade stool in front of Li Yuan's bed, and asked, "Is grandfather feeling better?"

Li Yuan waved his hand, seemingly indifferently said: "I've been sick for a long time, I'm afraid it won't work this time."

Wu Meiniang heard the words, and quickly said: "Grandfather is worrying too much. Grandfather has a strong body, so how can he say these things in a good manner?"

Li Yuan said weakly: "How many hurdles have I passed in my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this time."

Wu Meiniang looked at the dying old man in front of her, but she couldn't say the comforting words from her mouth, and she, who was always eloquent, didn't know how to explain the old man in front of her. You know, the old man in front of her was not only his Grandfather is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once the lord of the world today.

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, after a while, looking at the haggard Li Yuan, she said in a strange way: "Why did my grandfather say this so well, it seems that it is already December, and it will be the first day of the new year soon." , at least it’s the new year.”

What Wu Meiniang said, if you think about it carefully, it is a bit offensive. After all, Li Yuan is in front of you. Anyone who comes here can say something nice, but Wu Meiniang, a little lady, wants Li Yuan to survive the first day no matter what. It is really a bit offensive. .

But Li Yuan's current state of mind is like this. Hearing what Wu Meiniang said, he feels that Wu Meiniang is the real temperament, and he really cares about him, which is different from those others who can only talk nicely.

Li Yuan looked at the hall and saw that there was no one else, so he said: "My grandsons, you are different from the daughter-in-laws of other families. I'm afraid it's only you and your father."

Wu Meiniang is Li Ke's wife, Li Yuan's granddaughter-in-law, and also the daughter of the warrior Xun. The warrior Xun is the only remaining Yuanmou hero who followed Li Yuan in the Taiyuan army. Li Yuan regards Wu Meiniang differently from other princes and concubines.

Wu Meiniang heard the words and said: "The king of Chu also has his grandfather in his heart. It's just that the king of Chu is now in the east of the river and is not in the capital. But grandfather can rest assured that the emperor has ordered the king of Chu to return to the capital. He will be able to return to the capital soon." Go to the palace to visit your grandfather."

Li Yuan heard that Li Ke was about to return to Beijing, and said to Wu Meiniang, "None of my grandchildren are in trouble, and the king of Chu has a big heart."

Li Yuan went through the Xuanwu Gate, so he could understand many things naturally, and Wu Meiniang also knew what Li Yuan meant.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly said: "My husband is on the sidelines to share the worries of my father. Whenever my husband values ​​filial piety, I also regard my grandfather and my father as the most important thing."

Li Yuan looked at Wu Meiniang defending Li Ke, as if he had also seen his wife Dou defending him back then, so he couldn't help laughing.

Li Yuan patted Wu Meiniang's hand, and said to Wu Meiniang: "Since you have said so, then when the King of Chu returns to Beijing, you can come to the palace with him again, and I have something to tell him."

"No." Wu Meiniang hurriedly agreed upon hearing the words.
