Chapter 451
According to Li Shimin's order, Li Ke was not allowed to wear armor to enter Da'an Palace, so he went back to the palace first and changed into ordinary clothes before heading to Da'an Palace.Da'an Palace is located in the west of Taiji Palace, not far from Yankang Square. It was noon when Li Ke arrived at Da'an Palace.

Da'an Palace, formerly known as Hongyi Palace, was originally built by Li Yuan during the fifth year of Wude, when he was King Li Shimin of Qin. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Northern Expedition of the Tang Army won a great victory. After Li Shimin moved into the Taiji Palace from the East Palace, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan moved out of the Taiji Palace. , changed the name of Hongyi Palace, and made it the palace of the Supreme Emperor.

Da'an Palace was originally built for the prince, and the place of regulation is naturally far inferior to the grandeur of Taiji Palace. The rooms of Da'an Palace are relatively humble and small, and the interior and exterior of the palace are also humid. Li Yuan lived here for four years, but it was actually not very comfortable.Fortunately, Hongyi Palace still has some scenic mountains and forests, which are quite elegant, and Liao Cun is somewhat comforted.

"Grandson Li Ke and grandson-daughter-in-law Mei Niang pay respects to their grandfather." In Da'an Palace, in the Chui Gong Hall, Li Yuan was resting in the hall. Li Ke and Wu Meiniang went to the window and bowed down to pay homage.

"Meiniang and Hutou are here." Li Yuan raised his head, glanced at Li Ke and Wu Meiniang in front of him, and said slowly.

Li Yuan's voice was very soft, but it was very difficult to listen to it. It seemed that just a few words had already consumed a lot of Li Yuan's energy.Li Yuan's vain and powerless appearance is very different from the appearance Li Ke saw last time, and he is not alone at all.

For a while, Li Ke looked at Li Yuan, who had become much thinner, and was a little speechless. The words he had originally planned were blocked in his throat, and he just said: "The grandson is at the side of the foreign governor, and he couldn't return to Beijing to visit his grandfather in time. I hope my grandfather will not blame me."

Hearing this, Li Yuan joked softly to Li Ke: "Your father is right, your temperament is too rigid, according to me, you'd better not come back, once you come back, even with the original good talker The Mei Niang who talked about me has lost all her words, so I am much more boring."

In Li Ke's eyes, Li Yuan has always been the one who lives deep in the Da'an Palace. Except for the Supreme Emperor who seldom goes out to the palace for banquets in the middle of the court, Li Ke and Li Yuan are not close, and they don't even talk much. Li Ke was able to joke with Li Ke, which really surprised Li Ke.Li Ke thought about it carefully, and it was probably because of Wu Meiniang.

Li Ke also said with a smile: "Didn't my grandfather hear the saying among the people: 'The old tiger is powerful'. Although my grandfather is old, he conquered the world in the early years, conquered the world, and accumulated a lot of prestige. How dare his grandson be presumptuous."

When Li Yuan heard this, the smile on his face became heavier. Obviously, he also liked Li Ke's words.

Li Shimin ascended the throne for eight years, fought south and north, and made great achievements. He even destroyed the Turks and occupied Yinshan Mountain.

Over the years, with countless achievements and praises, how many people have forgotten who Li Yuan is, and who is the founding emperor who established the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan thought of this, and suddenly asked Li Ke: "Hutou is both civil and military, and he is an official in the local area. He must have more knowledge and knowledge than other princes. According to Hutou, after my death, the historians and the people of the world will have more What should I say about me?"

Li Ke didn't expect that Li Yuan would ask him such a question, and his face showed embarrassment. Li Yuan's words were not easy to answer. If he only picked good things to say, Li Yuan would not take it seriously, and even felt that Li Ke was perfunctory. , It will only make Li Yuan unhappy, and Li Ke can't stand it.

Li Ke said it was not good, and it was not good, so he had to say: "Grandfather is the elder, but grandson is the younger generation. How can he make mistakes. The elders have merits and demerits, but the grandson dare not speak rashly."

Li Ke has always acted in a safe manner, and his answer was within Li Yuan's expectations. Li Yuan said: "You are so young, just in the prime of your life, why are you so shy in doing things? Could it be that you are the same in the army? Are you How to convince the crowd?"

Li Ke explained: "In the army, my grandson just acts in accordance with the rules and doesn't have to worry about other things. However, my grandfather is my grandson's close relative, so how dare my grandson judge him lightly."

Li Yuan said: "It's okay, this is my will for you, you just have to say it bluntly, if you can really say something right, I can still help you with something, it must be of great help to you."

Li Ke didn't know what Li Yuan could reward Li Ke, and he couldn't guess, but Li Ke looked at Li Yuan's appearance, and Li Ke knew that he might not be able to push back what happened today.

Li Ke paused for a moment, and then asked: "Grandpa wants to hear the truth, or a good one?"

Li Yuan replied without hesitation: "Of course it's the truth, if it's just a good word, what should I do?"

Li Ke said: "The truth is good and bad. If there is something bad in it that annoys my grandfather, I hope my grandfather will not blame him."

Li Yuan responded straight away: "At my stage, the most rare thing is to hear the truth, not to mention that you are not an outsider, so why should I blame you?"

Li Ke said: "Since this is the case, the grandson will be outspoken."

Li Yuan said: "You just say what you want."

Li Ke thought about it for a while, looked at the hall, and after confirming that there was no one else, he finally opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty created a picture, and it is about to be destroyed. Cut the skin. The chant of "Owl" will not hurt me."

Li Ke's words reached Li Yuan's ears, Li Yuan's heart was first happy, then anxious, and then he looked relieved when he heard the last sentence, as if he felt relieved.

Li Ke said that there are four sentences in total. The first sentence and a half are praising Li Yuan's merits in founding the country, he is wise and powerful, and the last sentence is about Li Yuan's family is uneasy, and his parents and children are killing each other. .

The so-called "song of "Owl" refers to the criticism of the world. "Owl" came from the Book of Songs at one time, and it was a poem written by Zhou Gongdan, the son of King Wen of Zhou, in King Cheng of Zhou. Tragic tenacity.

As for the half-sentence of "no harm to me", it fully expresses Li Yuan's attitude towards the world, which is both tolerant and casual, quite a bit of the open-mindedness of the emperors of the former kingdom.

"The chants of "Owl" will not harm me. The chants of "Owl" will not harm me. Hahaha, what Hutou said is very good. This is the heart of an emperor. It is my heart, my heart." Li Yuan tasted Li Ke's words for a moment, and suddenly laughed, as if letting go of something, he laughed loudly.

Li Ke didn't know what Li Yuan was struggling with before, but now Li Ke understood that what Li Yuan was struggling with, and what he couldn't let go of was the change of Xuanwumen back then.

Li Yuan lost his eldest son as well as his position in the Xuanwumen incident. He was not only concerned about the moment, but he also often thought about how others would treat him, the founding emperor, in a hundred years.

Li Shimin's literary talent and military strategy are unparalleled in the world. As Li Shimin's father, although he has made great achievements in founding the country, it is inevitable that Li Shimin's light will be overshadowed by Li Shimin.

However, what Li Ke said made him think a lot. He was the founding emperor of the country, and he started in troubled times, so why should he care about the words of the market?

"cough cough"

Just as Li Yuan laughed twice, he coughed again, and it took him a long time to stop his coughing.

"Grandpa, take care of your body, and don't get angry or angry lightly." Li Ke said while gently stroking Li Yuan's back.

Li Yuan smiled softly, patted Li Ke's arm, and said to Li Ke: "You speak very well. I never thought that the knot in my heart that has been depressed for several years can be solved by you in just a few words. If I had known this, I I should have asked you sooner."

Hearing this, Li Ke replied with a smile: "If it weren't for the current situation, how would grandson dare to say these words to grandfather? If it is the current situation, even if grandson said these words, how could grandfather listen to him?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then understood Li Ke's meaning, nodded and said, "That's right, what you said is also true."

Then Li Yuan paused, and then said to Li Ke: "I promised to help you, and I will definitely do it, but not now, in a few days, you should know."
